Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binet and Simon's test was designed to identify children who might struggle in regular school classes and who may need additional help or special education services. It was not intended to provide a quantitative estimate of inherited intellectual potential or to distinguish between specific cognitive abilities like verbal comprehension and working memory. While it did assess general cognitive abilities, its main purpose was to identify children who needed extra support.
