	Stanford-Binet IQ test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The modern field of intelligence testing began with the Stanford-Binet IQ test.
		In conclusion, the test makers assure people the Stanford-Binet 5 will accurately assess low-end functioning, normal intelligence, and the highest levels of giftedness (Riverside Publishing, 2004).
		In 1916, Stanford psychologist Lewis Terman released the "Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Scale" or the "Stanford-Binet" for short.

		The test was created in 1905, and modified in 1916 when it was given the name Stanford-Binet.
		IQ tests can't meet that expectation, said Bruce Bracken, the president of the International Testing Commission and a professor of education at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va.
		IQ tests have always been criticized for posing questions that the majority culture would have an easier time answering.

	Definition of IQ
		These tests are not universally recognized as true IQ tests because it is felt that they are susceptible to cheating, and that their scores depend upon collateral factors such as persistence and library skills as well as sheer intelligence.
		One word of caution about IQ tests: they are subject to "ceiling effects" as an examinee approaches the ceilings of a test.
		The average IQ of all college professors is 130, which lies within the upper 3% of the general public.

	Human Intelligence: Alfred Binet
		A new objective of intelligence testing was illustrated in the Stanford-Binet manual with testing ultimately resulting in "curtailing the reproduction of feeble-mindedness and in the elimination of an enormous amount of crime, pauperism, and industrial inefficiency (p.7)" (White, 2000).
		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).

	The Myth of Genius
		IQ tests are especially important to the military when determining who is eligible for a highly skilled jobs, such as jet pilot.
		Binet found that students rated higher by their teachers also rated higher on his test, thus creating an accurate predictor of academic success.
		Binet’s test never gained wide acceptance in France so a New Jersey school teacher brought the test to the United States to use on children with learning disabilities.

	Binet's Adaptive Test
		The basic principle of adapting a test to each examinee was recognized in the very early days of psychological measurement, even before the development of the standardized conventional paper-and-pencil test, by Alfred Binet in the development of the Binet IQ test (Binet and Simon, 1905) which later was published as the Stanford-Binet IQ Test.
		Binet’s test was comprised of sets of test items normed by chronological age level.
		In the Binet test, this level of precision is determined by the identification of both a ceiling and basal level, regardless of how many items are required for each examinee.

	Chapter Overview
		The current version of the original IQ test is called the Stanford-Binet and it can be administered as early as age 2 and through adulthood.
		Extensive testing with the Stanford-Binet test has shown that the distribution of IQ scores in the population approximates a normal curve.
		The IQ is a calculation that determines the intelligence of a person by comparing the mental age with the chronological age.

	Neuropsychological test - Psychology Central
		Neuropsychological tests are a core component of the process of conducting neuropsychological assessment.
		In this model, a person's raw score on a test is compared to a large general population normative sample, that should ideally be drawn from a comparable population to the person being examined.
		Neuropsychological tests are specifically designed tasks used to measure a psychological function known to be linked to a particular brain structure or pathway.

	Concepts
		Before the the advent of deviation IQ in the 1960 revision of the Stanford-Binet IQ test, the IQ test used a simple concept of taking an individual's derived mental age (MA), dividing it by their chronological age (CA), and multiplying the result by 100 (so the result wouldn't be a decimal).
		Below are brief explanations of the technical aspects of some of the more complicated terms used in IQ testing, specifically the terms I used on the history page.
		Much of intelligence testing, and all psychometrics, deals with complicated statistics techniques that take entire college courses to explain.

	Zabaware - hal's IQ
		Marilyn took the Stanford-Binet IQ test in September 1956, at the age of 10 years and 0 months, and achieved the ceiling mental age of 22 years and 10 months, yielding an IQ of 228.
		Currently IQ is calculated by estimating where, under the normal distribution curve, someone’s performance on an IQ test places him or her.
		She retested as an adult using the Mega Test and it indicated that her IQ had dropped to 186, still way up there in the super genius category.

	THRIVEnet - Darwinistic Elitism is Idiotic
		Change the test norms, change the IQ During my psychology internship in the juvenile court in Cleveland, Ohio, many years ago, I found a room filled with dusty old filing cabinets that contained every IQ test administered to children brought to the detention center since 1929.
		The IQ test was invented in France in 1904 by Alfred Binet to determine which children would not benefit from more schooling.
		Intelligence tests were created to predict who would not benefit from more schooling but the tests favored the ethnic group that developed the tests and ran the schools.

	Normal Curve : Example 2
		The Stanford-Binet IQ test is calibrated so that, for the general population, the mean score is 100 with a standard deviation equal to 16.
		Most schools don't use an IQ test as the sole criterion for entrance, but will place into the program any student whose IQ test score is higher than a specified cutoff.
		The cutoff IQ is a specified percentile of the distribution of IQ scores, for instance, the 95th percentile.

	TestingExceptGifted.html
		The most commonly used IQ tests, the more recent Stanford-Binet IV and the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children - III, and the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scales all start to seriously break down somewhere between IQ 130 and IQ 140 and fail completely around the 150 range.
		Someone with an IQ of 200 does exceed the level of someone with an IQ of 180 who does exceed the level of someone with an IQ of 160.
		It doesn't seem to apply in the higher IQ ranges - 50 years ago, the top 2% of people had a measured IQ of 130 - and today that figure is still around 2% even though the average IQ has increased 15 points.

	1.8 Focus on the Standford Binet IQ Test
		Educators have long bought into the concept of normal, as defined by IQ (intelligence quotient) tests such as the Stanford-Binet, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale (a similar test), and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT—an IQ test that was introduced in 1926 and is more typically called an achievement test).
		Working with his partner, Theodore Simon, Binet devised a test based on his definition of intelligence as “the tendency to take and maintain a definite direction; the capacity to make adaptations for the purpose of attaining a desired end, and the power of autocriticism.” Binet specified three facilities as reflecting intelligence: judgmental, attentional, and reasoning.
		The Ministry asked Alfred Binet, a highly respected psychologist, to devise a test that would show a student's potential to succeed in school.

	TCU School of Education Discussion Board
		IQ tests are sometimes culturally insensitive and should not be used as a sole measure for measuring intelligence.
		IQ testing does not say specifically what skills the child is excelling in or having problems with.
		IQ tests and achievement tests are two different tests.

		Standard deviation on the Stanford Binet IQ test is 16, so 116 = 1 Sigma, 132 = 2 Sigma, 148 = 3 Sigma.
		I believe the std deviation on an IQ test is supposed to be 10 so 130 is 3 std deviations (not deviants ras!) above the norm so 2.5% of the population should have an IQ above 130.
		Tested IQ, however, isn't a pure Gausian distribution, and there are a more people that test above 148 than the theoretical 0.15%.

		Since most "legitimate" IQ tests have to correlate highly with the Stanford-Binet, and this includes the controversial SAT, it is a useful place to look when seeking to understand just what is meant by "intelligence" as defined by the tests.
		The Stanford-Binet IQ test, first used in 1911 and still used today, is perhaps the quintessential IQ test.
		I will argue that the notion of intelligence as exemplified by the Stanford-Binet IQ test relies upon cognitive practices intimately linked to the rise of Western science.

	Expert Advice: Jerome J. Schultz, Ph.D.
		On the Stanford-Binet IQ test, children whose IQ's fell within the range of 68 to 78 (more or less) might be referred to as "slow learners." On that test, scores between 79 and 88 fall into the "low average range." On the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III), the term "slow learner" is not used.
		So, assuming the IQ test your child took was given correctly, and if your son was having a "good day," his score falls in what is regarded as the "low average range." This means that he might have difficulty learning in school, particularly if the material is very complex or abstract.
		On that test, an average IQ is between 90 and 109, and a so-called "low average" score is between 80 and 89.

	IQ Tests and Measurements of Genius
		The Binet-Simon test was developed in 1905 to help the French government identify retarded students in need of alternative education.
		Wechsler introduced the Deviation Quotient, an IQ computed by considering the individual's mental ability in comparison with the average individual of his or her own age.
		The highest IQ was probably held by William James Sidis (1898-1944).

	Have IQ
		These tests should yield a Flynn Effect of at least 22 points, so that someone scoring 100 on a current IQ test should exhibit a score of 128 on these old tests.
		This means that someone with a present-day IQ of 20 and three-year-old mental abilities would have an IQ of 50, measured by 1904 standards, with third-grade scholastic abilities.
		People with IQ's of 50 today should have the mental capacities of people with IQ's of 80 in 1904, and should be fully functioning members of society.

	Women, men, and IQ tests Beyond Satire
		Ellen was probably too modest to mention this, but I seem to recall that when she took a Stanford-Binet test as a preteen she tested off the scale (in Marilyn Vos Savant territory).
		Many of the original proponents of IQ tests were eugenecists and racists.
		I advised her to view such claims with skepticism, since definitions of intelligence are so subjective and tests are so artificial.

		That test would have been standardized 57 years after 1916, so the Flynn-Effect rise in the average IQ of 100 should have been of the order of 17 points looking back over that 57-year interval, or 20 points looking forward from 1916.
		So it follows that a 6-year-old with an IQ of 200 today would be expected to register a mental age of 16 on the 1916 S-B, corresponding to a ratio IQ of about 267 on that 85-year-old test.
		But as we've seen, 9 years of mental age on today's test equates to 9 years of mental age on the 1916 S-B. Consequently, their IQ's of 133 as measured by the 1916 S-B at age 6, should now have dropped to 100 on the 1916 S-B at age 9.

		When one of Terman's successors administered the Stanford-Binet IQ test to 1500 of the Termites' children, he found they had an average IQ of 133, with an astonishing 16% scoring in the gifted range.
		Being born with a high IQ or amazing piano ability is no guarantee of later success, and parents who push too hard are likely to set their child up for a fall.
		For example, Terman concluded that for children with an IQ over 140, it is often better to let them skip a grade in school rather than risk the child's losing interest in the institution altogether.
