The Binet-Simon Test was a test developed in France by psychologist Alfred Binet and physician Theodor Simon. It was the first so-called intelligence test to try to classify different levels of developmentally challenged children to place them into proper classes. The test consisted of 30 questions which gave each student a "mental level".
Binet would conduct exercises to improve his students mental level. The exercises worked, and the students' scores improved on the test. Binet believed that heredity was not a predeterminer to intelligence. Goddard, however, turned Binet's findings upside down.
