Abstract: The article discusses the history of individual psychology, focusing on Francis Galton's work on psychometrics and the establishment of an Anthropometric Station in London in 1884. Galton's belief in hereditary influences on behavior and his contributions to the field of educational measurement are highlighted. The article also examines the implications of Galton's work on educational practices and the use of testing to differentiate among students. The text questions the validity and utility of measuring individual differences in education, challenging the common belief that knowledge of student standing leads to better teaching and learning outcomes.
