Binet's (1857-1911), Intelligence Test was from so long ago, yet the basis of it is still used today to measure intelligence. The first test consisted of "30 itmes increasing complexity". (New Learning 1). The questions so not seem that they would provide an accurate way to assess an individual. They are fill in the blanks on some and some seem to be worded in an obscur fashion. I feel like there could be more than one answer leaving the indivudal who tested with the possiblity of being labeled as a imbocile, moron, or idiot. These are really difficult measures to digest. Later, Stanford added some additional information and revised the IQ test. Below are a sample of the questions or word sentences that were given to the person being tested and more of an explanation of the test.

This video believes this is a great tool for educators.I do not agree. I would rather agree with Howard Gardner and his theory of multiple intelligences. Where there were seven intelligence catagorys he came up with and then added an eighth. This next video gives us an idea how one may prepare for the Stanford/Binet IQ test :

The types of questions that were originally used sem to have been perhaps a link to the environment that a child/ student grew up around. For instance on eof the questions was : The women gather up the dried linen which the women have spread on the line. The Cloth, white as snow, dazzzles the ______ blank (eyes). This type of question would not necessary have a space in todays society. A student would have to have been exposed to linen being dried on a line to even possibly understand the word set up as a sentence. These tests to have a measurment of ibocile, idiotcy, and moron status were not a positive tool.
