Introduction:
Intelligence tests have been used to measure intelligence since the twentieth century. These have also been controversial and misused at times. Measurement of intelligence through some kind of test is not an ancient concept. This concept is less than a century old. It originally started when France realized that some students needed more time to learn and understand than others did.
