Life
Théodore Simon was born in Dijon on July 10, 1873. He studied medicine and in 1899 worked in a home in Perray-Vaucluse, which was later also employed by Binet. Simon was enthusiastic about his work, which influenced his doctoral thesis in 1900 and ultimately led to the collaboration between the two.
On behalf of the French education minister, the two developed the first scale to measure intelligence (for children between 3 and 15 years of age).
From 1905 to 1920 he worked as chief psychiatrist in the Saint Yon hospital; returned to Perray-Vaucluse as director in 1920, where he retired in 1936. He continued to publish the Bulletin , which he began in 1912, until 1960. He died in Paris in 1961.
