IQ Testwas asked by the French government to
develop a test to identify students with learning disabilities or who required special help in school
Binet and his colleague Theodore Simon developed a series of tests designed to assess mental abilities
Rather than focus on learned information such as math and reading, Binet instead concentrated on other mental abilities such as attention and memory

Binet-Simon Intelligence ScaleThe scale they developed became known as
the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale.His intelligence scale serves as the basis for
modern intelligence testsdid not believe that his test measured a
permanent or inborn degree of intelligenceAccording to Binet, an individual's score can
vary and suggested that factors such as motivation and other variables can play a role in test scores.
