Intelligence as abstract thinking: alfred binet and theodore simon developed first intelligence test in 1905, used to differentiate students who were falling behind peers, used diverse items that together helped measure higher mental processes.

S factor is the sub-factors that make up g . This could be your math or verbal ability, etc. One overall g and everything else we call components of intelligence are just parts of that. Someone who has a high g has chances that they have a high skills in the s component, but not true for the most part: the overall g is partially genetic and environmentally and g influences the s .
