Sternberg's Triarchic Theory
Captions available
The idea
Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory proposes three intelligences: analytical, used in solving academic problems; creative, used in handling new situations; and practical, used in adapting to everyday life.
In practice
Solving a proof is analytical; inventing a game is creative; talking a landlord into a repair is practical.
Where people slip
Unlike g, the theory treats these as separate abilities.
