2. Creator of the first IQ test, 1905
Alfred Binet (1857 – 1911)
Binet’s aim was
to identify which
children the
curriculum did
not suit, so that
an alternative
curriculum could
be designed for
them
3. 10 years later, Stanford University adapted Binet’s work
Henry H Goddard Lewis Terman
4. Black & White IQ
The Stanford-
Binet IQ test
was used to
construct an
ethnically
based social
hierarchy.
It was not until
later that
researchers
realised that
lower language
skills by new
English
speakers
affected their
scores on the
tests.
5. Binet appealed against the adaptation of his work
Alfred Binet (1857 – 1911)
“Some recent
philosophers have given
their moral approval to the
deplorable verdict that an
individual’s intelligence is
a fixed quantity, one which
cannot be augmented. We
must protest and act
against this brutal
pessimism - it has no
foundation whatsoever.”
