How successful a person can use these three
different intelligences is not only a result of
simply having high intelligence in one or more of
these three intelligence domains, success also
depends on how well they are balanced against
each other.

Through metacognition an individual decides

what mode of thinking is appropriate under
certain conditions.
 STERNBERG TRIARCHIC ABILITIES TEST
 FEATURES:  

 It measures the processes and functions of the three subtheories that make up the
triarchic theory of intelligence
 It uses multiple-choice verbal, quantitative, and figural items, as well as essays, to
measure analytical, creative, and practical abilities
 The test yields separate scores for the analytical, creative, and practical components. 
 It is a group-administered test and covers nine age levels, from four years to
adulthood or college
 The evaluation process of this test is very complex
 It is a power test
 The 9 scales contain 10 questions or topics plus two resolved example.it has a 10 th
scale; it is an automation test.

DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER TEST:
 This test is broader.
 The test measures the ability to understand unknown words in
context rather than vocabulary skills which are dependent on an
individual's background.
 The automatization subtest is the only part of the test that
measures mental speed.
PSYCHOMETRIC
PROPERTIES:
 RELIABILITY:
 The values ​of the reliability coefficients are moderate to high for the different tests,
while for the whole of the scale they are quite high.

 Among the lowest coefficients are those of tests 4, 1 and 6, with values ​around .50,
which can be considered moderate; while tests 3, 7 and 8 have values ​between .70
and .80 that we can consider high.
 
 These values ​allow us to establish to a good degree the consistency of the test:
VALIDITY:
 The internal validity of the test is established

 Regarding the internal validity of the test, when the scores obtained
in the test are correlated with those of other traditional tests for the
assessment of intellectual ability with sufficient proven validity,
such as the Cattell factor «G», we obtain indices of correlation
between moderate and high.
USES OF THE TEST:
It is widely used for research purposes.

Academic setting and Educational setting. 

To question conventional education.

In identifying, teaching, and assessing gifted children
