Summary
In this chapter, I review the history of psychological accounts of intelligence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I open with an account of the thinking of Galton and Binet. Although Binet is often viewed as atheoretical, I show this not to be the case at all. I then discuss some of their successors, including Spearman, Thomson, Holzinger, Thurstone, Guilford, Guttman, Burt, Vernon, Cattell, Carroll, and Johnson and Bouchard.
