> To operationalize this, we ground our methodology in Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, the most empirically validated model of human cognition
Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, like a lot of psychometric research, is based on collecting a lot of data and running factor analysis (or similar) to look for axes that seem orthogonal.
It's not clear that the axes are necessary or sufficient to define intelligence, especially if the goal is to define intelligence that applies to non-humans.
For example reading and writing ability and visual processing imply the organism has light sensors, which it may not. Do all intelligent beings have vision? I don't see an obvious reason why they would.
Whatever definition you use for AGI probably shouldn't depend heavily on having analyzed human-specific data for the same reason that your definition of what counts as music shouldn't depend entirely on inferences from a single genre.
