Ah, the age-old question of who invented IQ tests. Well, my friend, there’s no clear answer to that. You see, the concept of measuring intelligence has been around for centuries, but the first modern IQ test was developed by a bunch of brainy psychologists in the early 20th century. One of them was a guy named Alfred Binet, who designed the first intelligence test to identify French schoolchildren who needed extra help. But the credit for inventing the IQ test is a bit like a hot potato. Some people say it was Binet, others say it was his colleague Theodore Simon, and still, others give the nod to American psychologists Lewis Terman and Henry Goddard. All we can say for sure is that IQ tests have been around for a long time, and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
