Everything about Moron Psychology totally explained
Origin and uses
Moron was originally an English scientific term, coined in 1910 by
psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the
Greek word
moros, which meant "dull" (as opposed to "sharp"), and used to describe a person with a mental age located between 8 and 12 on the
Binet scale. It was once applied to people with an
IQ of 51-70, being superior in one degree to "
imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and superior in two degrees to "
idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The
word moron, along with others including "
retarded", "idiotic", "imbecilic", "stupid", and "
feeble-minded", was formerly considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, though these words have all now passed into common
slang use, exclusively in a derogatory context.
In his later years, starting from the 1920s, Goddard recanted his previous theories.
