Sternberg's Triarchic Theory
Captions available
The idea
Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory proposes three intelligences: analytical, used in academic problem-solving; creative, generating novel ideas; and practical, adapting to everyday contexts.
In practice
A student with average grades who runs the family shop shrewdly: high practical intelligence, or street smarts.
Where people slip
Standard tests measure mainly analytical intelligence, and analytical ability is not associated with creativity.
