Objective 40: Define intelligence and the history of measuring it.

!
Intelligence in the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Alfred Binet
came up with the first mental intelligence test. The Stanford-Binet is the new American
version of his test. The test results come from an intelligence quotient, which is a ration
of mental age to chronological age. Then it is multiplied by 100. In 1939, David
Wechsler produced 3 alternative forms of measuring intelligence. They are called the
Wechsler Pre-school and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Wechsler INtelligence scale for
Children, and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. An IQ test is also a way of testing
peoples knowledge. The IQ test goes on a scale from about 70-130. From 90-110 is the
average persons IQ score.
