This chapter explains the importance of intelligence, and how intelligence can be

measured. The topic of intelligence in this chapter includes intelligence

development and cognitive development. The first theorist who began looking at
intelligence was Alfred Binet, who developed the first intelligence test. According
to Winsor, Murrell & Magun-Jackson, the reason the intelligence test was developed
was for Binet to develop a measurement that would sort out those children whose
intellectual development was inferior to normal intelligence (2015). The first test
was developed by Alfred Binet and his student, Thoedore Simon that was named
1905 Scale.
