Intelligence and Personality in School and Educational Psychology

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Individual Differences ((PIDF))

Abstract

Intelligence and personality are fundamental to understanding children’s performance in schools. The first practical intelligence test was developed by Binet and Simon for use in Parisian public schools, and schools have remained the primary source for research and application regarding theories of intelligence. Although research regarding personality has generally evolved in clinical settings and then been transferred to schools, educators continue to develop and apply theories and techniques drawn from personality research.
