Alfred Binet / 阿尔弗雷德·宾内

Alfred Binet / 阿尔弗雷德·宾内 appears in 37.智商测试:请问你是智力婆罗门吗? as the French psychologist who helped create a modern child intelligence test with Theodore Simon / 西奥多·西蒙. The episode presents Binet’s starting problem as educational support: after France expanded schooling, teachers and administrators needed a way to identify children who were not keeping up with classroom instruction.

The source uses Binet as a contrast with later sorting regimes. His age-sensitive testing and “mental age” frame helped make intelligence testing practical, but the episode’s broader warning is that a support tool can become educational tracking by testing or exclusion when institutions attach rank, destiny, or resource allocation to the score.
