Moron Definition - for Better Understanding of Moron Affair

Moron comes from Greek moros `foolish, stupid.' It was coined as a scientific term by
Dr. Henry H. Goddard and proposed to the American Association for the Study of the
Feebleminded by him in 1910. It was accepted by the Association and described a
person suffering from mental deficiency who was between eight and twelve years in
mental age and who possessed an I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) below 75. It was the
highest rating of a mentally deficient person, the two lower ratings being imbecile and
idiot. Moron was quickly adopted in common English to mean `fool' and it is no longer
in scientific use.*
