I'm familiar with g-factor.

But why is it that the people who always score the highest on IQ tests contribute the most to math, and only a little bit to all the other subjects under the sun?

Why aren't they also creating the greatest art, growing the greatest vegetables, and, I don't know, designing the greatest structural engineering designs in the world?

>greatest art

first, tell how one measures art

>greatest vegetables

If he does work in the field of animal/plant genetics I am hopeful he will discover great things and move the field forward

>structural engineering

again this is not what he does, and why he does math is.....i don't know what's his reason to do math, idk his motivations behind it but i do surely believe there are high-iq structural engineers out there of course they are how can you say there are none. greatest structural engineering designs made yet are actually made by geniuses or highly intelligent people you wouldn't expect a kid who fails high school to make those things do you?
