	Human Intelligence: Alfred Binet
		Binet and Simon, in creating what historically is known as the Binet-Simon Scale, comprised a variety of tasks they thought were representative of typical children's abilities at various ages.
		Binet also stressed that intellectual development progressed at variable rates, could be impacted by the environment and was therefore not based solely on genetics, was malleable rather than fixed, and could only be used on children with comparable backgrounds (Siegler, 1992).

	Science - Alfred Binet
		Alfred Binet, born in Nice, France, on the eleventh of July, whose mother was an artist and whose father was a physician, became one of the most prominent psychologists in French history.
		Binet's next area of interest could be considered a precursor to some of Piaget's work with child psychology and began with the systematic observation of his two daughters, to whom he devoted much of his time, studying and writing about.
		Binet's work was diverse, showing interest in the person as a whole and therefore, trying to understand all facets comprising man. His work, although contributing much in the sense that it was often the precursor of more detailed, profound research, was never detailed enough to formulate any firm theories in any one area.

		Binet thus set about developing a scale that could differentiate those children who were slow learners from those who were able to keep pace with the level of instruction (normal children).
		Binet and Simon proceeded to assemble a scale composed of measures of the kinds of higher mental processes that Binet had argued were central to the assessment of intelligence.
		Binet and Simon drew samples of "normal" children and children thought to be retarded from schools, hospitals, orphanages, and asylums.

		The Binet scale involved testing children on a variety of tasks, especially abstract problem solving, which Binet and Simon determined to be conquered by the majority of children by a particular average age.

	A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Binet pioneers intelligence testing
		French psychologist Alfred Binet (1859-1911) took a different tack than most psychologists of his day: he was interested in the workings of the normal mind rather than the pathology of mental illness.
		Binet's work set off a passion for testing and in the enthusiasm, a widespread application of tests and scoring measures developed from relatively limited data.
		Tests based on Binet's test were used by the U.S. Army in sorting out the vast numbers of recruits in World War I. The questions, however, had much more to do with general knowledge than with mental tasks such as sequencing or matching.

		The results of his researches were neither robust nor convincing and, towards the end of that century, Alfred Binet, who could fairly be described as the Father of French Psychology, recognised this problem and yet was still struck by the importance of the question.
		Binet was at pains, also, to dissociate intelligence from memory, or from what had been learned.
		Binet and Simon published this scale in 1905, in a paper called ‘New Methods for the diagnosis of the intellectual level of subnormals’, so last year we were able to commemorate the centenary of the scientific measurement of intelligence.

	Alfred Binet (1857 -1911)
		This led to an understanding of individual differences in mental performance, and most importantly, that not all thought processes followed the same course.Using these observations, along with a smattering of good-old-fashioned logic, Binet was able to argue against the prevailing view that 'lack' of intellect in certain fields was an "illness".
		Unfortunately, Binet died only five years after the first use of his test, and the necessary revisions and refinements were left largely to others (see our comments on Terman).
		It is also reputed that Binet studied phrenology, and had great sympathy with the physiognomists (i.e., philosopher-come-psychologists that assumed there was a direct correlation between humans resemblance to animals and their personality).

		Binet had been interested in the psychology of--and individual differences in--intelligence since the 1880s and published articles on emotion, memory, attention, and problem solving in the journal he founded.
		In 1905 Binet and Theodore Simon created the first intelligence test for general use to aid the French government in establishing a program to educate mentally retarded children.
		In 1908 they revised the test, expanding it from a single scale of measurement to a battery of tests for children in different age groups, with the focus now shifted from identifying retardation to the general measurement of intelligence.

	IQ Test: Where Does It Come From and What Does It Measure?
		According to Binet, the scale was designed with a single purpose in mind; it was to serve as a guide to identify children in the schools who required special education.
		Since, according to Binet, intelligence could not be described as a single score, the use of the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) as a definite statement of a child's intellectual capability would be a serious mistake.
		In addition, Binet feared that IQ measurement would be used to condemn a child to a permanent “condition” of stupidity, thereby negatively affecting his or her education and livelihood:
