    Intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Alfred Binet created the first mental intelligence test which was later adapted into the Stanford-Binet test in America. This test determines an intelligence quotient (IQ) score by comparing an individual's mental age to their actual age. Later, David Wechsler developed alternative IQ tests to measure intelligence on a scale of 70-130, with 90-110 being average.
