• The present paper deals with the intelligence testing applied and promoted by a Catalan teacher called Llorenç Cabós in the 1920s. This teacher of a graded school of Barcelona decided to learn by doing, organizing a series of paper and pencil testings in the classroom. Our research evidences the supportive policy of the local government for such an initiative and how a local daily newspaper referred to the event as a kind of scientific spectacle.
