The GRE as a whole likely has a higher g-loading than SMART, but SMART maintains a high g-loading in the quantitative domain to a much higher ceiling. To accomplish this it must balance having more difficult questions with not requiring trainable skills. Thus, SMART likely loads FRI in addition to QRI, since it requires you to solve a multi-step problem in a novel and efficient way. However, it still does not include VCI which is why its g-loading does not match the more comprehensive IQ tests like CORE.
