 Stanford - Binet Intelligence Test
Lewis Terman

Used a single number, known as the intelligence

quotient (IQ), to represent an individual's score
on the test.
Score was calculated by dividing the test taker's
mental age (MA) by their chronological age 7

(CA), and then multiplying this number by 10012/09/2021

 Stanford - Binet Intelligence Test
IQ = (MA / CA) x 100
IQ Description

120 - 129 Superior
110 - 119 High average
90 - 109 Average
80 - 89 Low average
70 - 79 Borderline

Below 70 Extremely low

 The Wechsler Intelligence Scales
David Wechsler

Developed two different tests specifically for use

with children:
 Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)
 Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of
Intelligence (WPPSI) 9

The
 Wechsler Intelligence Scales
Wechsler Adult
 Intelligence Scale (WAIS)

WAIS
 is scored by comparing the test taker's score

to the scores of others in the same age group

The
 average score is fixed at 100, with two-thirds of

scores lying in the normal range between 85 and 115
