I am quite skeptical about the possibility of condensing the complexity of “intelligence” down to a single number “g”, but even if this were some kind of approximate metric for actual intelligence, I do not see how this type of “research” is of any use. It only seems to promote unnecessary social abrasion by letting those who belong to the more “intelligent” fields inhale too deeply of their own success and making the others feel less. It is at best misleading and at worst borderline eugenics.
