content: In 1937, Houghton Mifflin Company published this record booklet for a revision of the Stanford-Binet Scale, an intelligence test originally published by Lewis Terman in 1916 (for earlier versions of the test and related references, see 1990.0034.025, 1990.0034.026, and 1990.0034.027). This version was coauthored by Terman and his Stanford colleague Maud Amanda Merrill [James] (1888-1978). It came in two forms, designated as L and M –this is Form M. The number of questions was expanded considerably from 74 to 122. Part of this was due to including questions that might be answered by a child as young as two and the expanding the number of the most difficult questions to test adults. Terman and Merrill also published a book describing the scale, which is not part of this acquisition.
