Alfred Binet, a French psychologist, co-invented the Binet-Simon test, the first practical intelligence test. He advocated for educating children with learning difficulties in classes attached to regular schools instead of special boarding schools. Binet stressed the need for objective evidence to assess a child’s capabilities for regular education, which led to the development of the IQ test. His contributions laid the groundwork for modern intelligence testing and assessment methods.
