Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It wasn’t until the turn of the 20th century that Frenchman Alfred Binet (1857-1911) developed the first test resembling a modern intelligence test.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the advantages this test has over other IQ tests, such as the Stanford Binet IQ test, is that it allows analysis of a profile of scores rather than just one intelligence quotient. Each section of the test can be analyzed individual to paint a better picture of a person’s intelligence.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Stanford-Binet test reflected mostly verbal abilities, while the Wechsler test also reflected nonverbal abilities. The Stanford-Binet has also been revised several times and is now similar to the Wechsler in several aspects, but the Wechsler continues to be the most popular test in the United States.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Wechsler intelligence tests must be administered by a trained school psychologist, clinical psychologist, or neuropsychologist.
