| Abstract | In 1910, Binet's test was translated into English by the American eugenicist Henry Goddard who wanted a way of filtering out the 'feeble-minded' from American society. Like the Englishman and cousin to Charles Darwin, Sir Francis Galton, before him, he believed that intelligence, and related defects therein, was hereditary and therefore breeding was at the heart of any attempt to raise a nation's overall intelligence. The principal 'psychological witness' to which the report refers is the controversial English educational psychologist Cyril Burt, whose later research has been equally controversially discredited. The eugenics-influenced Spens Report is a very interesting, wide-ranging and thorough overview of the state of education and children's development that had far-reaching implications, the reverberations of which are still sounding throughout the UK today. People just don't sue doctors they like, according to a lawyer quoted by the author. In other words, their emotional quotient (EQ) saved them from where the GP-related intelligence quotient (IQ) had let them down.In 1910, Binet's test was translated into English by the American eugenicist Henry Goddard who wanted a way of filtering out the 'feeble-minded' from American society.
