There is a long history of efforts to measure human intelligence. Modern theories of measurement can be traced to the French psychologist Alfred Binet and the English scientist Francis Galton, both of whom were researching intelligence during the second half of the 19th century. Standardized intelligence tests became popular during the 20th century, though their shortcomings have been extensively documented.
