Lewis Terman

Lewis Terman published the Stanford Binet Test. He was fascinated by the intelligence of normal children and "gifted" children. Even since he saw Alfred Binet's work, the creator of the IQ test, he was very intrigued. He found that gifted children were nothing like their stereotypes and that they seemed like everday children, except of course excelling in their studies. Terman thought that children were not given tasks that were of high level as their abilities.
