The Binet-Simon Scale

The Binet-Simon Scale was an early test developed in the early 20th century to measure a child's intelligence. It consists of a series of standardized questions and tasks that assess different mental abilities, like reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding. The purpose was to identify children who needed extra help in school, not to label their intelligence overall. The test's scores helped educators and psychologists better understand individual learning needs, and it influenced the development of modern IQ testing. Overall, it was a pioneering effort to quantify and understand cognitive development in children.
