Terman is the scientist who developed the Stanford-Binet scale and made the Binet scale popular. Terman made a score for each age level and assigned a standard deviation of fifteen or sixteen points to each chronological age. He then mass marketed the Stanford-Binet test that became the basis for a lucrative industry.
