Stanford-Binet test

The Stanford-Binet test is a verbal intelligence test , the first version of which was published in 1916. A fifth revised version of the test has been available since 2003.

There are age-specific test variants up to the age of 14, and there are four tests, one of which is for adults with normal talent and three for adults with above-average talent. Questions are asked about the meaning of proverbs and the sentence memory is checked. Further topics of investigation are orientation, number memory, contrasts and rendering of the core theses of a text heard.

history

The Stanford-Binet test was published by Lewis Madison Terman as a further development of Alfred Binet's Binet-Simon test . The research of William Stern also played a role here.
