I think the G is what really screws things up. I thought it was, as good as the general human, but upon googling it has a defined meaning among researchers. There appears to be confusion all over the place tho.

General-Purpose (Wide Scope): It can do many types of things.

Generally as Capable as a Human (Performance Level): It can do what we do.

Possessing General Intelligence (Cognitive Mechanism): It thinks and learns the way a general intelligence does.

So, for researchers, general intelligence is characterized by: applying knowledge from one domain to solve problems in another, adapting to novel situations without being explicitly programmed for them, and: having a broad base of understanding that can be applied across many different areas.
