description This paper develops an approach to intelligence in the context of the theory of degeneration and eugenics in Chile.

Regarding the establishment of psychology as a scientific discipline, the introduction into the country of the Stanford Binet IQ test by Luis Alberto Tirapegui in 1925 are discussed.
