INTELLIGENCE SCALE
Stanford Binet Scale
Binet’s definition “Intelligence is judgement or common sense, initiative, the ability to
adapt oneself” and again “to judge well, understand well, reason well – these are the
essentials of intelligence.
Stanford Binet Scale is an individually administered intelligence test designed to
examine the cognitive ability and intelligence and to diagnose developmental or
intellectual deficiencies in young children and adults. IT is applicable for the age range
of 2 through 85+
Developmental History
 The Stanford–Binet is a modified version of the Binet-Simon Intelligence scale,
created by the French psychologist Alfred Binet and his student Theodore Simon.
It was a way to detect children who were en retard. Binet believed that intelligence
is malleable and that intelligence tests would help target kids in need of extra
attention to advance their intelligence.
 To create their test, Binet and Simon first created a baseline of intelligence by
testing a wide range of children on a broad spectrum of measures in an effort to
discover a clear indicator of intelligence. Failing to find a single identifier of
intelligence, Binet and Simon instead compared children in each category by age.
The children's highest levels of achievement were sorted by age and common
levels of achievement considered the normal level for that age.
 Lewis M. Terman, a psychologist at Stanford University, created a version of the
test for people in the United States, naming the localized version the Stanford–
Binet Intelligence Scale. He used the test not only to help identify children
with learning difficulties but also to find children and adults who had above
average levels of intelligence.
 Meanwhile a German psychologist William Stern created the now well known
Intelligence Quotient (IQ). By comparing the age a child scored at to their
biological age, a ratio is created to show the rate of their mental progress as
IQ. Terman quickly grasped the idea for his Stanford revision with the
adjustment of multiplying the ratios by 100 to make them easier to read.
 Several psychologists have revised this scale from of 1908 to 1939 but most
notable is 1916 revision by Terman. Like, in 1908 H. H. Goddard published an
English translation of the 1905 Binet-Simon scale and in 1911 he published a
revised version of 1908 Binet-Simon scale. Other revisions in USA were made
by Kulhman in 1912, and 1939; R. Yerkes in 1915 and 1923; and J. P. Herring
in 1922.

Revisions of Stanford-Binet Intelligence
Scale
 Stanford-Binet First Edition by Terman (1916)
More than one-third of the items were new and the entire scale was restandardized on
an American sample of 1400 people (1000 children and 400 adults).
Most important aspect was that the concept of IQ was first time introduced in a
psychological test.
Intelligence Quotient (IQ)= Mental Age (MA) * 100
Chronological Age (CA)
 Stanford-Binet Second Edition by Terman and Merrill (1937)
Terman along with Merrill revised the SB1 which is commonly known as Binet 1937.
This revision comprised of two parallel equivalent forms- L and M which provided a
better sampling of populations and abilities.
This edition was better standardized and better validated than the 1916 revision and
also extended the upper and lower range. Thus this test used a broader
of upper and lower ability levels.
 Stanford Binet Third Edition By Merrill (1972)
The 1960 Binet consisted of a single form in which the test items from both L and M
forms were retained hence, named the L-M form. About an hour is required in its
administration and has a range of 2 years of mental age scores to 22 years and 11
months of mental age scores.
While new features were added, there were no newly created items included in this
revision. Instead, any items from the 1937 form that showed no substantial change in
difficulty from the 1930s to the 1950s were either eliminated or adjusted (Roid &
2004)
According to Sattler & Theye (1967), this form measures abilities from seven categories:
(i)Language, (ii) Reasoning, (iii) Memory, (iv) Social intelligence,(v) Conceptual, (vi)
Numerical reasoning and (vii) Visual-motor. Test items are in the form of words, objects
and pictures and the response is given by the testees are in the form of drawing,
calculating, writing and speaking.
The use of the deviation IQ made its first appearance in this third edition by replacing
ratio IQ.
By1972, a new standardization group consisting of a representative sample of 2100
children (about 100 at each Stanford-Binet age level) had been obtained for the use
the 1960 revision . One basic feature of the 1972 norms was that unlike all previous
norms, it included nonwhites.
 Stanford-Binet Fourth Edition by Thorndike, Hagen, and Sattler (1986)
This is the most extensive revision Because on one hand, it retained the chief
advantages of the earlier editions as individually administered tests and on the other
hand, it also reflected the intervening developments in both theoretical
conceptualizations of intelligence functions and methodology of test construction.
It incorporates the gf-gc theory of intelligence (Horn &Noll, 1997).
This edition covers the ages two through twenty-three and was the first to use the
fifteen subtests with point scales in place of using the previous age scale format.
The fourth edition is known for assessing children that may be referred for gifted
programs. It includes a broad range of abilities, which provides more challenging
for those in their early adolescent years, whereas other intelligence tests of the time
did not provide difficult enough items for the older children (Laurent, Swerdlik, &
Ryburn, 1992).

 The developers of screened items for fairness based on variables like age,
race, ethnicity, disability and religious traditions (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu,
Buddhist backgrounds) among 4,800 participants.
 SB5 is suitable for assessing intelligence for children age through adults age 85
and older.
 SB5 uses a routing procedure for estimating the general cognitive ability of the
examinee before proceeding towards the remainder of the test. The aim is to
identify the appropriate starting points for later subtests. The routing items
to both verbal and nonverbal domains. These items also provide Abbreviated IQ
which are sometimes used for screening purposes.
 The working memory factor which consists of both verbal and nonverbal items
helps in assessing and understanding children with ADHD.
 In a nutshell, SB5 is a very promising intelligence test that is useful at both ends
the cognitive spectrum- the very young and very gifted person. Thus, provides a
change-sensitive scores.

Five factors are also incorporated in this scale, which are directly related
to Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) hierarchical model of cognitive abilities.
Depending on age and ability, administration can range from fifteen minutes
to an hour and fifteen minutes.
Re-administration of the SB5 can occur in a six-month interval rather than one
year due to the small mean differences in reliability (Bain & Allin, 2005).
Present Use : Current uses for the test include clinical and neuropsychological
assessment, educational placement, compensation evaluations, career
assessment, adult neuropsychological treatment, forensics, and research on
aptitude.
Pros and Cons of using SB5
Strengths
 Many different purposes: diagnose
learning and developmental
disabilities, exceptionalities in children,
cognitive functioning, evaluate special
education placement, provide
neurological assessment, inform career
assessments and guide treatment
program development.
 Research that support the reliability and
validity.
 Manual provides caution for use with
individuals who are special needs, deaf,
have communication disorders,
orthopedic impairment and motor skills
deficit.
 Age 2-85+
Limitations
 15 minutes to 75 minutes to complete.
 5 items were deleted from the final
version of the SB5, four of which were
found to work differently for African
Americans and Caucasians.
 Manual provided with the standardized
assessment package provided evidence
of construct validity among all groups
except for Hispanics and Caucasians.
 Unable to compare people of different
age categories, since each category
gets a different set of tests.
 Very young children tend to do poorly
on the test due to the fact that they
lack the ability to concentrate long
enough to finish it.

Feedback
It was a good learning opportunity. The best part was how the curriculum was divided
on weekly basis which enabled ease without any pressure. The lectures and the daily
quiz were quite engaging. Specifically, the content was well researched, well
referenced and quite enriching.
The only improvement that can be done is that the recorded video lectures should
give the facility to increase or decrease the playback speed. Rest all was good.
I hope the assessment would be done little leniently as it was a self-learning
programme and even our teachers were not much familiar with it.
THANK YOU!
