content: In 1908, the Frenchmen Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon published a scale for measuring the intelligence of individual children. The device much interested Louis Terman, a professor at the Los Angeles State Normal School who would soon move to Stanford University, and he began studies of children whose intellect ranked high according to the Binet-Simon scale. He revised the scale, and prepared a new form of the test. This record form describes the questions to be asked of children and leaving space for their responses. It first appeared in 1916 – this example was copyrighted by Houghton Mifflin Company in 1916, 1922 and 1934.
