It was proposed by Charles Spearman.

Charles Spearman was the first to describe the existence of general intelligence, also called G favtor, in 1904. According this theory people who succed in one area tended to have a similar result in other areas too. For example, a person who gets an exvellent result in a written test would probably do well in other tests.
