TRIARCHIC THEORY OF INTELLIGENCE

It was formulated by Robert J. Sternberg, a well-known psychologist whose research

often focuses on human intelligence and creativity.

THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE

1. Practical - the ability to get along in different contexts. Sternberg called one’s ability
to successfully interact with the everyday world practical intelligence. Practical
intelligence is related to the contextual subtheory.

2. Creative - the ability go come up with new ideas. which is one’s ability to use existing
knowledge to create new ways to handle new problems or cope in new situations.
Creative intelligence is related to experiential subtheory,

3. Analytical - the ability to evaluate information and solve problems. Analytical

intelligence is used to solve problems and is the kind of intelligence that is measured by
a standard IQ test. Analytical intelligence is related to componential subtheory.

THREE SUBTHEORIES

1. Contextual subtheory, which corresponds to practical intelligence, or the ability to

successfully function in one’s environment. It is intertwined with the individual’s
environment. Thus, intelligence is based on the way one functions in their everyday
circumstances, including one’s ability to a) adapt to one’s environment, b) select the
best environment for oneself, or c) shape the environment to better fit one’s needs and
desires.
2. Experiential subtheory, which corresponds to creative intelligence, or the ability to
deal with novel situations or issues. One has become familiar with a given task or
situation and can now handle it with minimal thought.

3. Componential subtheory, which corresponds to analytical intelligence, or the ability

to solve problems.

 The componential theory outlines the various mechanisms that result in

intelligence. According to Sternberg, this subtheory is comprised of three kinds of
mental processes or components:
 Metacomponents enable us to monitor, control, and evaluate our mental
processing, so that we can make decisions, solve problems, and create
plans.
 Performance components are what enable us to take action on the
plans and decisions arrived at by the metacomponents.
 Knowledge-acquisition components enable us to learn new information
that will help us carry out our plans.

THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

1. Visual-Spatial Intelligence

Strengths: Visual and spatial judgment

People who are strong in visual-spatial intelligence are good at visualizing things. These
individuals are often good with directions as well as maps, charts, videos, and pictures.

2. Linguistic-Verbal Intelligence

Strengths: Words, language, and writing

People who are strong in linguistic-verbal intelligence are able to use words well, both
when writing and speaking. These individuals are typically very good at writing stories,
memorizing information, and reading.

3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Strengths: Analyzing problems and mathematical operations

People who are strong in logical-mathematical intelligence are good at reasoning,

recognizing patterns, and logically analyzing problems. These individuals tend to think
conceptually about numbers, relationships, and patterns.

4. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

Strengths: Physical movement, motor control

Those who have high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are said to be good at body
movement, performing actions, and physical control. People who are strong in this area
tend to have excellent hand-eye coordination and dexterity.

5. Musical Intelligence

Strengths: Rhythm and music

People who have strong musical intelligence are good at thinking in patterns, rhythms,
and sounds. They have a strong appreciation for music and are often good at musical
composition and performance.

6. Interpersonal Intelligence

Strengths: Understanding and relating to other people

Those who have strong interpersonal intelligence are good at understanding and
interacting with other people. These individuals are skilled at assessing the emotions,
motivations, desires, and intentions of those around them.

7. Intrapersonal Intelligence

Strengths: Introspection and self-reflection

Individuals who are strong in intrapersonal intelligence are good at being aware of their
own emotional states, feelings, and motivations. They tend to enjoy self-reflection and
analysis, including daydreaming, exploring relationships with others, and assessing their
personal strengths.

8. Naturalistic Intelligence

Strengths: Finding patterns and relationships to nature

Naturalistic is the most recent addition to Gardner’s theory and has been met with more
resistance than his original seven intelligences. According to Gardner, individuals who
are high in this type of intelligence are more in tune with nature and are often interested
in nurturing, exploring the environment, and learning about other species. These
individuals are said to be highly aware of even subtle changes to their environments.

9. Existential Intelligence

Strengths: Collective values and Intuition

Existentialist use collective values and intuition to understand others and the world
around them. People who excel in this intelligence are able to see big picture
