The first edition of the Stanford-Binet scales were published in 1916. They should therefore be in the public domain in the United States. Is there any copy of the material online? What about in a library where I could request a loan. I don’t even really have a good idea of what the material would physically consist of. It must have the test itself, plus guidelines for interpreting it. Is it a book?
