>even on IQ tests they separate verbal and spatial, right
not necessarily. in fact, there are tests that do not have any verbal component. [1] i'm not an expert in intelligence research so i can't tell you how its results compare against other tests though, nor concretely what the limitations are.
> i would argue that for sure there are way more dimensions to intelligence than that
in fact, most intelligence researchers would agree with you. pic related. [2] arthur jensen, who wrote the book the G-Factor, which name you deride, discusses this, in fact.
from looking at the correlations among the particular subtests in an IQ test, researchers have (indirectly) observed these. however, (and because i am not an expert, i will have to evade explaining), the evidence suggests that there is a also a more general factor, which intelligence researchers simply call g.
> p-hack
i don't see how you can possibly call g p-hacking
