Alfred Binet was a French psychologist who is most famous for coming up with the first, real intelligence test (he also coined the term "sexual fetish"). He developed the intelligence test shortly after the time when France passed a law for mandatory school attendance for children. The IQ test was primarily designed to distinguish between the abilities of normal, abnormal, and retarded children; by distinguishing between the groups, the ones that needed extra assistance could be given it. The Binet IQ test was further reformed by Lewis Terman, an American professor at Stanford. The IQ test is now referred to as the Stanford-Binet test.
