Read the case and answer the questions that follow.

Alfred Binet, in 1905, was requested by the French government to devise a method by
which students who experienced difficulty in school could be identified. Binet and his
colleague, Theodore Simon, began developing questions that focused on areas not
explicitly taught in schools those days, such as memory, attention skills related to
problem solving. Using these questions, Binet determined which were the ones that
served as the best predictors of school success.
Binet quickly realized that some children were able to answer more advanced questions
than older children were generally able to answer and vice versa. Based on this
observation, Binet suggested the concept of mental age or a measure of intelligence
based on the average abilities of children of a certain age group. This first intelligence
test is referred to as the Binet-Simon Scale. He insisted that intelligence is influenced by
many factors, it changes over time, and it can only be compared in children with similar
backgrounds.
35. Identify the approach on which the Binet - Simon Intelligence Scale is based. Discuss its
features. 2
