Since Alfred Binet first used a standardized test to identify learning-impaired Parisian children in the early 1900's, it has become one of the primary tools for identifying children with learning disabilities. It has helped the U.S. military place its new recruits in positions that suit their skills and abilities. Since the administration of the original Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)--adapted in 1926 from an intelligence test developed for the U.S. Army during World War I--it has spawned a variety of aptitude and achievement tests that shape the educational choices of millions of students each year. What additional uses do you see for this test in the future?
