The French psychologist Alfred Binet was asked to conduct
the first comparison of intelligence. Binet’s task was to separate less capable
children who would fall behind their peers and thus hinder instruction. He created
the IQ test in 1905 and, together with his collaborator, Theodore Simon, composed
the Binet-Simon intelligence scale. Later, in 1908 and 1911, Binet published revised
versions of the scale.
A later amendment of the Binet-Simon intelligence scale was
published in 1916 by Lewis M. Terman of Stanford University. Terman incorporated
the suggestion that the individual intelligence level would be measured as
the intelligence quotient, or IQ.
IQ or Intelligence Quotient is an attempt to measure intelligence.
This means many things to many people but generally the attribute of intelligence refers
to quickness of mental comprehension (or mental agility). Intelligence is often confused
with knowledge, wisdom, memory, or other attributes and in general has a variety of meanings
depending on the context in which it is used. The term IQ usually refers to the attempt
to measure a person's mental agility.
To calculate an intelligence quotient, a person's mental age is divided by
his chronological age, then multiplied by 100.
An IQ tells you what your score is on a particular intelligence test, compared to your
age-group. The test has a mean score of 100 points and a standard deviation of 15 points.
What does this standard deviation mean? It means that 68 percent of the population
score an IQ within the interval 85 - 115. And that 95 percent of the population scores
within the interval 70 - 130 of IQ.
