The modern stanford-binet remains loyal to the conception of intelligence originally formulated by binet and terman. In 1939 he published the first high-quality iq test designed specifically for adults, which came to be known as the wechsler adult intelligence scale. Made his scales less dependent on subjects verbal ability than the stanford-binet. Psychological tests fall into two categories; individual tests and group tests. Individual tests are expensive and time consuming.
