Philosopher, Educator, Psychologist. He was one of the developers of the present I.Q. test. At first he developed his own test, but when he got acquainted with the Binet-Simon test, he (with H.G.

They later developed the revision of the Binet test, now the Stanford-Binet test. He was the father of the "Father of Silicon Valley," Frederick E. Terman.
