Which choice shows the order of intelligence tests, starting with the earliest one?
A. Binet-Simon Scale, Binet-Stanford Intelligence Quotient, Wechsler Intelligence Scale
B. Binet-Stanford Intelligence Quotient, Binet-Simon Scale, Wechsler Intelligence Scale
C. Wechsler Intelligence Scale, Binet-Simon Scale, Binet-Stanford Intelligence Quotient
D. Binet-Simon Scale, Wechsler Intelligence Scale, Binet-Stanford Intelligence Quotient
The correct answer is A. Binet-Simon Scale, Binet-Stanford Intelligence Quotient, Wechsler Intelligence Scale.
Explanation: The Binet-Simon Scale was one of the first intelligence tests developed in the early 1900s by Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon. It was later revised into the Binet-Stanford Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test by Lewis Terman. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale was introduced later, providing a more comprehensive measurement of intelligence that includes various cognitive abilities. Hence, the order is Binet-Simon first, followed by Binet-Stanford, and then Wechsler.
