The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales

The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales are standardized tests used to measure an individual's cognitive abilities, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and knowledge. They assess different areas, including verbal and non-verbal skills, to provide an overall IQ score that reflects a person’s intellectual functioning. The test is used for educational planning, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and diagnosing intellectual disabilities. Developed from Alfred Binet’s original work, it has been revised over the years to remain a reliable tool for understanding a person’s mental capabilities relative to their age group.
