Essentially there is no disagreement between the two of us, and you just wanted to jerk off "arguing" with someone to make yourself feel smart, even though you're arguing for what I'd been establishing trying to portray it as a disagreement.

As for the genuine statements and questions of yours, which are not a consequence of miscomprehension, let me start from the top.
> That would imply that any test is good, which is ridiculous.Obviously, the tests back then were of a very poor accuracy, but that is irrelevant. For the first time in history people were selected for wits, even if poorly, from all sorts of backgrounds to be rapidly promoted to the top of the hierarchy, and actually, I'm uncertain whether it ever repeated in history, except for maybe the SATs, Wonderlic, and ASVAB.
What you have to understand is that psychometric g is a latent variable that loads to ALL cognitive skills/domains/etc. even if variably, and it is also the variable that represents why they are correlated with each other, so if someone is very good at many unrelated diverse cognitive skills/domains etc., then it can be assumed it's far more likely it's due to the fact that person has a high g, as opposed to the test just so selecting the skills which the person is good at net of g.
