Stanford-Binet IQ test The modern field of intelligence testing began with the Stanford-Binet IQ test. The Stanford-Binet itself started with the French psychologist Alfred Binet as a standard way for psychologists to quickly and easily compare the psychological functioning of different people. As Binet indicated, case studies may be more detailed and at times more helpful, but the time required to test large numbers of people would be huge. Unfortunately, the tests he and his assistant Victor Henri developed in 1896 were largely disappointing (Fancher, 1985). (references)
U.S. Presidents IQ hoax Perhaps because the issue of George W. Bush's intelligence has been a popular one, particularly amongst his political opponents, the hoax report was taken to be true in some quarters. The British newspaper The Guardian, for example, quoted the report in its diary section of July 19 2001 and used it to belittle Bush (see [http://www.guardian.co.uk/diary/story/0,3604,523939,00.html] below). The Guardian published a retraction two days after the Associated Press drew attention to the error. (references)
