Apparently, Binet wasn't the first person to make an IQ test. And PISA etc. weren't the first to try to standardize educational testing across countries. http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=7783

I know Piaget was Simon's assistant, but I don't think he worked for Binet. Paget was 15 when Binet died, and at that time he was a precocious teenager writing about mollusks. Was he even studying psychology then?

So, he graded tests, but it doesn't say he helped revise the Binet scales.

Yeah, basically.

All this being said, Binet's breakthrough was important, but given the precursors (Galton, standardized educational tests, Thorndike, etc.), I think that a scientifically derived test was inevitable in the early 20th century. Binet just got there first.
