DEFINITION OF INTELLIGENCE:
According to Thorndike ; intelligence is the ability to give responses that are true.
The abbreviation „,IQ‟, comes from the term intelligence quotient, first coined by the GERMEN
PSYCHOLOGIST WILLIAM STERN in the early 1900s [from the German intelligence –
quotient] this term was later used in 1905 by ALFRED BINET& THEODORESIMON, who
published the first modern intelligence . because it was easy to administer ,the BINET SIMON
LEWIS TERMAN created and published the first IQ test in the united states ,the binet IQ test.
mental age divided by their chronological age. The original formula for quotient is
Page 4
MENTAL AGE x 100
CHRONOLOGICAL AGE
In 1939 ,David WECHSLER published the first intelligence test for explicitly for an adult
After the WAIS was published ,Wechsler extended his scale for younger people ,creating the
Wechsler scale FOR children OR WISC .this Wechsler contained separate sub scores for verbal
ORIGIN OF INTELLIGENCE:
Intelligence testing ,according to originated around 1904 in France when the French government
wanted to know if there was a way to test for the difference between normal children & inferior
children.
This idea was to place inferior children in special schools where they could receive special
attention .
Enter psychologist Alfred Binet who developed the Binet scale, also known as the Simon –Binet
It was specifically designed to weed out those needing special attention & was ‟not designed to
Binet also noted that the scale did not permit the measurement of intelligence. He feared that iq
negatively affecting his or her future. Binet‟s scale also had a profound effect on the education
Page 5
and intelligence testing of children in the us. Those who gave intelligence tests based on this
scale, however, didn‟t yield to Binet‟s caveats and often misused the test, using it to rank
jersey, advocated a more general use for the intelligence scale and believed that intelligence was
a solid, fixed entity that could easily be measured. In 1916, Lewis m. Terman, who also believed
that intelligence was fixed and of hereditary origin, published the revised Stanford-binet
intelligence test we‟ve come to know today as the most popular intelligence test used in the us.
Through Goddard‟s and Terman‟s work, the idea that intelligence tests are accurate, scientific,
and valuable tools for bringing efficiency to the schools and has resulted in assigning the IQ

PERFORMANCE TEST.
[Link] METHOD: in this method language ability is essential. The individual can answer
through to verbal way such as reasoning memory & numerical abilities .verbal test cannot be
administrated to dump ,young condition ,or those who doesn‟t understand your
language[foreigners].
[Link] –VERBAL METHOD: non verbal method are deals with diagram& picture. This test
free from language barriers & do not require reading skill .non verbal test can administrate
[Link] TEST: It is one of the non verbal test but is asses the subject[person] has
to do something to rather than to some .e.g solve your problems ,assemble e.g a pattern of block
individual at a time. Individual intelligence test was born in france but group intelligence in
America. Group intelligence test started during first war for selecting shoulder in large number.

Information: in this test ask general knowledge & asses the individual Information status
particular objects.
Comprehension: are deals with more abstract questions e.g. nature of necessity of laws.
Arithmetic: it is deals with the problem solving method &measure by scoring e.g.986-8.
Digit stand : the subject is required to repeat for backward series of numbers e.g.6,4,3,9
PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE TEST: performance [scale] test have 5 sub tests i.e,
CA [CHRONOLOGICAL AGE]
Picture arrangement : the subject is given mixed up sets of picture to that tell sensible strong.

Picture completion: the subject should find out the missing picture.
Objective assembly: in that are subject assemble the objects to the complete one. generally many small
ports or block given to the individual they will arrange complete object.
Block design: block is a colored blocks to produced picture according to given pattern.
Digit symbol: it is arithmetic procedure to find out the answer of digit valve here provide correction in

History:
Stanford binet:
[1965] intelligent this is a new version of binet simen test .in 1905 two French psychologist binet &
simen discover this intelligence test. after that it was modified American psychologist termon with binet
at stanford university for current use of intelligence assessment .in 1986 it is known as Stanford binet
Page
11
Stanford binet test: this test can useful for measurement of general intelligence test. it can useful for 2
year to superior adults up to 45 years .it is very effective only to 16 years. For adult this test result is not
accurate or satisfactory.
1. Verbal test- reporting digit, defining the word ,answering question ,sating similarity &

Mental age consist of basal age 1mental equal to 6. In that the individual intelligence can measure through
standard questions from the individual chronological age. Based on IQ test we can divide or interpreted as
follows:

IQ LEVEL INTERPRETATION
BELOW 20 PROFOUND MR
35-50 MODERATE MR
50-70 MILD MR
111-120 AVERAGE
121-140 SUPERIOR
Nearly 95% belongs to low IQ & only 5% belongs to high .some of the examples of binet test/stanford
binet test.
For 2 years old child - various names of body parts on the tap picture.
For 5 years old- define words like ball or stove ,copy a drawing different type of square .

Adult can describe differences of meaning of abstracts words.
This test can assist through the matrix for children color box for adult black & white color .
From the matrix find out missing piece or ordinary pattern to find out 6-8 often on the same page .
For this test there is no time limitation but normally consider for 20 min.
ADVANTAGES:
But it is not primarily an intelligence test. This test differ from other test because it is not directly
assessing the object but through the care giver like parents, neighbours ,nurses etc,.
It must be remember that parents naturally based in children in their child &many over estimated .
