method for picking out children who were unable to learn at a normal rate. Binet went on to develop a method that could measure the intelligence of every child dull, bright, or normal.

having eaten a proper breakfast. Sudden dizziness attacks them. A second cause is the overcrowding and ensuing feeling of claustrophobia, which brings on stress and anxiety. In addition, they are so afraid of mechanical failure, fire, and or crime that they show signs of panic - men by having chest pains and women by becoming hysterical. Contributing especially to their stress are other factors: overcrowding of both men and women, continual increase in the numbers of passengers, and people's inability to avoid interacting with strangers.
