Description:
At school there was always one pupil who seemed to excel in every subject, from maths to literature and music. <br/><br/>Scientists call this phenomenon 'general intelligence' or the 'g factor' – and for the first time they've found evidence that it exists in dogs too. <br/><br/>The researchers in Budapest, Hungary recruited over 100 dogs for various tasks, testing key skills like memory, learning and problem-solving.<br/><br/>Rather than just excelling in one area, the smartest dogs tended to score highly across the board, just like a top student at school, they found. <br/><br/>While the g factor in humans is linked with better academic and workplace performance in life, gifted dogs may be better able to fend for themselves or assist humans in a crisis.
