content: In 1908, the Frenchmen Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon published a scale for measuring the intelligence of individual children. The device much interested Lewis 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 tests. He revised the scale, and prepared a new form of it. This record form describes the questions to be asked of children and leaves space for their responses. This version of the scale was copyrighted by Houghton-Mifflin in 1916, the first year it appeared.
