Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Limitations of the Binet-Simon IQ Test For example, Binet did not believe that his psychometric instruments could be used to measure a single, permanent, and inborn level of intelligence. Instead, he suggested that intelligence is far too broad a concept to quantify with one number.

Detailed explanation-2: -While the WISC-V is now the most commonly administered IQ test for children, the Stanford-Binet has been around the longest. It measures five weighted factors in both verbal and nonverbal abilities. The five factors are: knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, working memory, and fluid reasoning.

Detailed explanation-3: -IQ tests have the potential to inaccurately measure an individual’s intelligence and cause problems including low confidence, unrealistic expectations, and just a generally flawed understanding of a person’s potential.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most basic tenet of Alfred Binet’s theory is that intelligence can be defined by the comparison of the performance of children at the same idea. The concept is that there are certain tasks that most six-year-olds can complete. Binet asserted that children who could not complete those tasks were below average.
