"Standardized intelligence testing (including tests like those at www.iqinform.com), has been called one of psychology's greatest successes. It is certainly one of the field's most persistent and widely used inventions. It has helped the U.S. military place its new recruits in positions that suit their skills and abilities. And, since the administration of the original Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)--adapted in 1926 from an intelligence test developed for the U.S. Army during World War I--it has spawned a variety of aptitude and achievement tests that shape the educational choices of millions of students each year.*"
