Is this a self-help question?

it would help clarify a little bit if you summarized the first question in addition to linking it. It's not clear what g-factor is, for example.

@jona: I don't think so, because it's about improving cognitive function in already-healthy individuals in general. [Self-help questions](http://meta.cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/502/why-was-my-self-help-question-closed-as-off-topic) are more dangerous when about diagnosing/treating this weird thing I have that's been getting worse lately. A positive, general question is less likely to endanger someone's health or generate lawsuits, basically...but there's always room for debate on meta of course.

@Josh: The [*g* factor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)) is general intelligence; plenty more info on Wikipedia.
