All right, so this question is asking, who developed the iq test most widely used today? our options are sir francis galton, alfred bonaise, lewis terman, and david weschler.
00:13
So i believe i've said this before, but when it comes to remembering significant names in psychology, i believe these are one of the most, or i wouldn't say most, but harder questions to really approach strategically because it's really all about knowing or connecting at least, certain events or certain theories and connecting that back to a name.
00:43
And i believe that's where it gets kind of confusing because it isn't just a term where its words or the word that it is gives away a lot about its definition.
00:55
So bottom line, it's really about understanding who did what.
01:00
But looking at this, i like to think that when honing in on number a, or letter a, i should say, sir francis galton, when i see anything with like a sir, i immediately think a very old, medieval would probably be pushing it, but very much old, long ago type names.
01:20
And i could kind of, kind of guess that sir francis galton might have, yes, to do with intelligence, but maybe part of its earlier beginnings in terms of measuring intelligence.
01:35
And this is true because sir francis galton, around the late 1800s, so it is pretty old.
01:42
He is credited with the first broad, as it's described in the textbook, broad means of testing intelligence.
01:55
And although hints of it are used today, sir francis galton is more notable for initiating the sort of movement in testing intelligence, but while it holds true that it is a big impact, it isn't what is widely used today.
02:15
So sir francis galton isn't the right answer.
02:20
So following, we have alfred benet.
02:22
And i think this is where you could kind of get chipped up because alfred benet is what we think about when, at least for me, what we think about, when we think about the iq test, because vene was actually the first to develop this sort of test that measures the intelligence quotient.
02:43
And he did this because he was commissioned by the french government.
02:46
He was a french psychologist in order to gauge mental capabilities or intellectual capabilities within school children and to better apply education in that way.
03:00
So while it is true that he did develop a very popular iq test, it isn't what is used today...
