The Beta test was specifically designed for illiterate or non-English speaking recruits during World War I. It used simple visual puzzles and did not require any reading or writing skills. The other options listed (Alpha, WAIS-R, and Stanford-Binet) are all intelligence tests, but they would not have been appropriate for assessing recruits who did not have a formal education or literacy skills.
