A. Alfred Binet

B. Stern

C. Gulford

D. None

Answer is = B

You are correct! The formula to determine IQ (Intelligence Quotient) was presented by:

B. Stern

While Alfred Binet laid the foundation for modern intelligence testing with the Binet-Simon Test, it was William Stern, a German psychologist, who introduced the concept of IQ in 1914.

Here’s a breakdown of their contributions:

  • Alfred Binet: Developed the Binet-Simon Test, which measured mental age (a child’s cognitive ability level compared to the average for their chronological age).
  • William Stern: Proposed the idea of dividing mental age by chronological age and multiplying by 100 to obtain the IQ score. This formula provided a standardized way to express intelligence as a single number.

It’s important to note that IQ testing and the concept of IQ itself remain a topic of ongoing debate and discussion. However, Stern’s contribution played a significant role in the early development of IQ testing.
