How did the IQ test come about?

Sometime in 1905, psychologist Alfred Binet discovered changes in the education system that motivated him to create an intelligence quotient test.

According to a report by Study, Binet’s goal was to assess the students who couldn’t keep up with their peers in terms of cognitive ability. He thought such a test would help understand which group of students could access general education and who needed more educational support to succeed.

A person’s IQ determines his or her ability to reason and think in comparison to other people in their age group.

This test provides researchers a baseline called ‘mental age’. The next step is to determine a person’s chronological age.
