Autorenporträt
Alfred Binet (July 8, 1857 - October 18, 1911), a pioneering figure in psychology, is best known for his work on intelligence and the development of the first practical IQ test, the Binet-Simon scale, which he created in collaboration with his colleague Théodore Simon. Born in Nice, Binet embarked on a diverse educational path before turning his attention fully to psychology. His broader research interests were vast, covering topics from educational psychology to hypnosis. Binet's significant contribution to the field, 'The Mind and the Brain' (1907), provides insightful exploration into the relationship between psychical and physical processes. This work showcases Binet's interest in cognitive processes and the development of higher-order thinking. Binet is often hailed for his child-centric educational theories, which he expounded upon materially, marking a clear departure from the strictly physical interpretation of psychology prevalent during his time. While his work in psychometrics has somewhat overshadowed his other contributions, scholars recognize Binet as a figure whose literary style was marked by both rigorous empirical investigation and a poignant reflection upon the broader implications of his work for understanding human intelligence and individual differences. Alfred Binet's legacy persists in the numerous tests that have evolved from his initial work and in the continuing discourse on the nature of intelligence.
