The word intelligence is derived from the latin
verb 'intellegere 'which means understanding

What is Intelligence
according to Binet?
 Binet defined intelligence as “the components of
intelligence are reasoning, judgment, memory, and the
power of abstraction.” He measured intelligence as
“general mental ability of individuals in intelligent
behaviors.” He described intelligence testing as
classifying, not measuring.
Who is Alfred Binet?
Alfred Binet lived from 1857-1911. He
was a French psychologist who is credited
with inventing the first reliable
intelligence test. Binet is routinely
considered one of the most influential
psychologists in history, largely as a result
of his pioneering work in measuring
intelligence.
Alfred Binet was born Alfredo Binetti on
July 8, 1857, in Nice, France. His father, a
physician, and his mother, an artist,
divorced when he was young and Binet
then moved to Paris with his mother.
After graduating from law school in 1878,
Binet planned to follow in his father’s
footsteps and enroll in medical school. He
began to study science at Sorbonne but
soon began educating himself in
psychology by reading works by
individuals such as Charles Darwin and
John Stuart Mill.
Binet began working at the Salpêtrière
Hospital in Paris under the guidance of
Jean-Martin Charcot. Afterward, he
moved to a position at the Laboratory of
Experimental Psychology, where he was
the associate director and researcher. In
1894, Binet was appointed the director of
the lab and he remained in this position
until his death in 1911.
BINET’S CONTRIBUTION TO
PSYCHOLOGY
Today, Alfred Binet is often cited as one of the
most influential psychologists in history. While
his intelligence scale serves as the basis for
modern intelligence tests, Binet himself did not
believe that his test measured a permanent or
inborn degree of intelligence.
According to Binet, an individual's score can
vary. He also suggested that motivation and
other variables can affect test scores.
VICTORIAN DIARIES AND
READING LOGS
Binet and colleague Theodore Simon developed a series

of tests designed to assess mental abilities. Rather than
focus on learned information such as math and reading,
Binet instead concentrated on other mental abilities such
as attention and memory. The scale they developed
became known as the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale.
VICTORIAN DIARIES AND
READING LOGS
Psychologist Lewis Terman later
revised the test, and became known
as the Stanford-Binet. While Binet's Eugenics was the now
debunked belief that
original intent was to use the test to the human population
could be genetically
identify children who needed improved by controlling
additional academic assistance, the who was allowed to
have children. By doing
test soon became a means to this, the eugenicists
believed they could
identify those deemed "feeble- produce more desirable
minded" by the eugenics movement inherited
characteristics.
