With the development of statistical and other quantitative tools and
             methods that quantify abstract and qualitative information, the late 19th
             century, where subsistence to empiricism is evident, have led to the
             proliferation of quantifiable measures, called tests, that seek to state in
             simpler terms an individual's skills, knowledge, and characteristics
             (personal attributes). One prominent example of these measures are
             intelligence tests, which is a measure used to determine an individual's
             "general mental capability to reason, solve problems, think abstractly,
             learn and understand new material, and profit from past experience"
             The development of intelligence tests originated way back in the late
             19th century, when Sir Frances Galton introduced the eugenics movement,
             which attempts to discriminate between superior' and inferior'
             physiological and psychological characteristics of people. Methods and
             concepts concerning intelligence testing had improved in the 20th century,
             when Alfred Binet formulated the first intelligence test and was later
             refined by William Stern's intelligence quotient (IQ) test, defined as "an
             individual's mental age divided by chronological age (multiplied by 100)"
             (Santrock, 2001:291). The IQ test adapted Binet's method of measuring
             intelligence in an individual, where an individual's mental age (MA) is
             measured vis -vis his/her chronological age (CA). Thus, disparities
             between the MA and CA primarily determine the score, or level, of IQ an
             individual has. Other tests of intelligence developed thereafter are the
             Wechsler scale, developed by David Wechsler, which is an intelligence test
             that involves both verbal and non-verbal IQ of an individual.
             Indeed, the development of intelligence tests helped determine
             essential information needed in determining the capacity and capability of
             an individual to accomplish tasks that require mental ...
