<P> As discussed by Fancher & Rutherford in 2012, the Stanford--Binet is a modified version of the Binet - Simon Intelligence scale . The Binet - Simon scale was created by the French psychologist Alfred Binet and his student Theodore Simon . Due to changing education laws of the time, Binet had been requested by a government commission to come up with a way to detect children with significantly below - average intelligence and mental retardation . </P> <P> To create their test, Binet and Simon first created a baseline of intelligence . A wide range of children were tested on a broad spectrum of measures in an effort to discover a clear indicator of intelligence . Failing to find a single identifier of intelligence, Binet and Simon instead compared children in each category by age . The children's highest levels of achievement were sorted by age and common levels of achievement considered the normal level for that age . Because this testing method merely compares a person's ability to the common ability level of others their age, the general practices of the test can easily be transferred to test different populations, even if the measures used are changed . </P> <P> One of the first intelligence tests, the Binet - Simon test quickly gained support in the psychological community, many of whom further spread it to the public . Lewis M. Terman, a psychologist at Stanford University, was one of the first to create a version of the test for people in the United States, naming the localized version the Stanford--Binet Intelligence Scale . Terman used the test not only to help identify children with learning difficulties but also to find children and adults who had above average levels of intelligence . In creating his version, Terman also tested additional methods for his Stanford revision, publishing his first official version as The Measurement of Intelligence: An Explanation of and a Complete Guide for the Use of the Stanford Revision and Extension of the Binet - Simon Intelligence Scale (Fancher & Rutherford, 2012) (Becker, 2003). </P> <P> The original tests in the 1905 form include: </P>
