• The G factor is a natural ability that everyone possesses. It differs among people and aids in a variety of mental functions. It's a tool that's employed in everyday life and every mental task is influenced by this factor.
• S is when a person possesses a set of skills and is usually successful at them. Singing, painting, and so on. People can also have many special powers, which they can use to varied degrees.
