Alfred Binet was a French psychologist who invented the first practical IQ test, the Binet–Simon test. In 1905, the French Ministry of Education asked psychologist Alfred Binet to devise a method that would determine which students did not learn from regular classroom instruction so they could be given remedial work. Along with his collaborator Théodore Simon, Binet published revisions of his test in 1908 and 1911, the last of which appeared just before his death. Binet attended law school in Paris, received his degree in 1878, he studied physiology at the Sorbonne. His first formal position was as a researcher at a neurological clinic, Salpêtrière Hospital, in Paris from 1883 to 1889. From there, Binet went on to being a researcher and associate director of the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology at the Sorbonne from 1891 to 1894. In 1894, he was promoted to being the director of the laboratory until 1911. Binet educated himself by reading psychology texts at the National Library in Paris, he soon became fascinated with the ideas of John Stuart Mill, who believed that the operations of intelligence could be explained by the laws of associationism.
Binet realized the limitations of this theory, but Mill's ideas continued to influence his work. In 1883, years of unaccompanied study ended when Binet was introduced to Charles Féré, who introduced him to Jean-Martin Charcot, the director of a clinic called La Salpêtrière, Paris. Charcot became his mentor and in turn, Binet accepted a job offer at the clinic, working in his neurological laboratory. At the time of Binet's tenure, Charcot was experimenting with hypnotism. Binet was influenced by Charcot, published four articles about his work in this area. Charcot's conclusions did not hold up under professional scrutiny, Binet was forced to make an embarrassing public admission that he had been wrong in supporting his teacher, he had established his name internationally in the field, Morton Prince for example stating in 1904 that, "certain problems in subconscious automatism will always be associated with the names of Breuer and Freud in Germany and Alfred Binet in France."When his involvement with hypnosis waned as a result of failure to establish professional acceptance, he turned to the study of development spurred on by the birth of his two daughters and Armande, calling Armande a subjectivist and Marguerite an objectivist, developing the concepts of introspection and externospection in an anticipation of Carl Jung's psychological types.
In the 21-year period following his shift in career interests, Binet "published more than 200 books and reviews in what now would be called experimental, educational and differential psychology." Bergin and Cizek suggest that this work may have influenced Jean Piaget, who studied with Binet's collaborator Théodore Simon in 1920. Binet's research with his daughters helped him to further refine his developing conception of intelligence the importance of attention span and suggestibility in intellectual development. Despite Binet's extensive research interests and wide breadth of publications, today he is most known for his contributions to intelligence. Wolf postulates; because Binet did not have any formalized graduate study in psychology, he did not hold a professorship with a prestigious institution where students and funds would be sure to perpetuate his work. Additionally, his more progressive theories did not provide the practical utility that his intelligence scale would evoke. Binet and his coworker Fere discovered what they called transfer and they recognized perceptual and emotional polarization.
Binet and Fere thought. After investigations by many, the two men were forced to admit that they were wrong about their concepts of transfer and polarization, their patients had known what was expected, what was supposed to happen, so they assented. Binet had risked everything on his experiment and its results, this failure took a toll on him. In 1890, Binet resigned from La Salpêtrière and never mentioned its director again, his interests turned towards the development of his children and Alice, who were two years apart. This research presages that done by Jean Piaget just a short time regarding the development of cognition in children. A job presented itself for Binet in 1891 at the Laboratory of Physiological Psychology at the Sorbonne, he worked for a year without pay and by 1894, he took over as the director. This was a position that Binet held until his death, it enabled him to pursue his studies on mental processes. While directing the Laboratory, Theodore Simon applied to do doctoral research under Binet's supervision.
This was the beginning of their fruitful collaboration. During this time he co-founded the French journal of psychology, L'Annee psychologique, serving as the director and editor-in-chief of the journal, the first scientific journal in this domain. In 1899, Binet was asked to be a member of the Free Society for the Psychological Study of the Child. French education changed during the end of the nineteenth century, because of a law that passed which made it mandatory for children ages six to fourteen to attend school; this group to which Binet became a member hoped to begin studying children in a scientific manner. Binet and many other members of the society were appointed to the Commission for the Retarded; the question became "What should be the test given to children thought to poss
