    Stanford Binet Test

    Uploaded by

    The Stanford Binet Test was developed in the early 1900s by Binet and Simon at the request of the French government to identify students struggling in school. They created questions testing areas not explicitly taught like memory and problem-solving. Based on these questions, Binet observed that some children could answer questions aimed at older children, suggesting the concept of a mental age. The Stanford-Binet IQ test then calculated a person's IQ by dividing their mental age by chronological age and multiplying by 100 to represent their test score and cognitive ability.

    Stanford Binet Test

    During the early 1900s, the French government asked Binet to help decide which students were
    most likely to experience difficulty in school. The government had passed laws requiring that all
    French children attend school, so it was important to find a way to identify children who would
    need specialized assistance.

    Binet and his colleague, Theodore Simon, began developing questions that focused on areas not
    explicitly taught in schools, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Using these
    questions, Binet determined which ones served as the best predictors of school success.

    He quickly realized that some children were able to answer more advanced questions that older
    children were generally able to answer, and vice versa. Based on this observation, Binet
    suggested the concept of a mental age or a measure of intelligence based on the average abilities
    of children of a certain age group.

    First IQ Test

    The Stanford-Binet intelligence test used a single number, known as the intelligence quotient (or
    IQ), to represent an individual's score on the test.

    The IQ score was calculated by dividing the test taker's mental age by his or her chronological
    age and then multiplying this number by 100.

    The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is a descendant of the Binet - Simon scale, the first
    accepted IQ test in 1905. In 1916, this new version of this intelligence scale was developed to
    better measure cognitive and intellectual ability while also helping educators and clinicians
    diagnose learning disabilities, giftedness, and mental retardation. The Stanford-Binet Intelligence
    Scale looks at several levels of cognitive ability in children, adolescents, and adults. The test
    incorporates both verbal and nonverbal responses. Each verbal subtest will have a corresponding
    nonverbal subtest for the five cognitive factors that are used to determine a person’s ability to
    learn. Those being:
     Fluid reasoning
     Knowledge
     Quantitative reasoning
     Visual-spatial processing
     Working memory

    PURPOSE

    The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale was originally developed to help place children in
    appropriate educational settings. It can help determine the level of intellectual and cognitive
    functioning in preschoolers, children, adolescents and adults, and assist in the diagnosis of a
    learning disability, developmental delay, mental retardation , or giftedness. It is used to provide
    educational planning and placement, neuropsychological assessment, and research. The
    Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is generally administered in a school or clinical setting.
