Binet himself worried about the potential misuse of the tests he designed. He insisted they were not a measurement, properly speaking. He argued that intelligence comes in many different forms, only some of them testable by his or by any test. His understanding of different skills, aptitudes, or forms of intelligence was probably closer to that of educator Howard Gardner’s concept of “multiple intelligences” than to anything like a rigid, measurable standard reducible to a single numerical score.21 His words of caution fell on deaf ears. Less than a year after Binet’s death in 1911, the German psychologist William Stern argued that one could take the scores on Binet’s standardized tests, calculate them against the age of the child tested, and come up with one number that defined a person’s “intelligence quotient” (IQ).22 Adapted in 1916 by Lewis Terman of Stanford University and renamed the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, this method, along with Binet’s test, became the gold standard for measuring not aptitude or progress but innate mental capacity, IQ. This was what Binet had feared. Yet his test and that metric continue to be used today, not descriptively as a relative gauge of academic potential, but as a purportedly scientific grading of innate intelligence.”

A poor man narrated his 83 problems to Buddha and asked for it's solutions.
Buddha simply said, “I can't do anything.”
The man was very much disappointed and he said, “I heard your name that you are a Buddha and you help people to overcome sorrows. Is it not true? “
Buddha said, “Yes it's true.”
The man said, “Then why don't you help me?”
Buddha said, “Listen, I can't help you to solve 83 problems, but yes I can help you to solve your 84th problem that there is no suffering in this life?”
Suffering is our own creation and we blame others.
We all are adopting the attitude of ignorance towards life and this has been one of the reasons that our life is full of such dense darkness.
Neither we have that aliveness in our speech, nor is there peace in our eyes, just we all are dragging our lives.
If we think introspectively, we will find ourselves that how many bondage we have created ourselves, we are trapped in those same shackles and we cry for help, what an irony, on one hand we are chaining ourselves and on the other hand we are crying, so that someone can set us free.
Remember you are above all, salvation is in your own hands, liberation is in your own efforts, you take one step forward, another step this existence will take forward for you.
There is an invisible among all of us and he guides us every step of the way, all that is necessary is that we move towards that invisible, we should embrace that invisible and move the direction of our life towards liberation.
