What does the Binet test measure?

The Binet test, or more accurately, the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, measure general intelligence (g). It assesses a range of cognitive abilities, including:

* Fluid reasoning: The ability to solve novel problems.

* Knowledge: The breadth and depth of a person's accumulated knowledge.

* Quantitative reasoning: The ability to solve mathematical problems.

* Visual-spatial processing: The ability to analyze and synthesize visual information.

* Working memory: The ability to hold and manipulate information in mind.

While it provides an overall IQ score, the Stanford-Binet also provides subtest scores that offer a more detailed profile of an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. The test aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of a person's intellectual functioning, rather than focusing on a single aspect of intelligence.
