Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligences
Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence proposes three types of intelligence: analytical, creative, and practical. Analytical intelligence involves planning, monitoring, and problem solving. Creative intelligence focuses on developing new ideas and solutions. Practical intelligence applies to selecting and shaping real-world environments. The theory also describes seven types of people based on their balance or imbalance of the three intelligences: The Analyzer, The Creator, The Practitioner, The Analytical Creator, The Analytical Practitioner, The Creative Practitioner, and The Consummate Balancer who achieves the optimal balance.

- 3. Overview of Sternberg's TriarchicTheory of Intelligence
- 4. Sternberg describes threedifferent kinds of intelligence in his model: Analytical thinking (componential) Creative thinking (experiential) Practical thinking (contextual)
- 5. Analytical thinking focuses onplanning, monitoring, reflection, and transfer
- 6. Creative thinking focuses ondeveloping, applying new ideas, and creating solutions
- 7. Practical thinking focuses onselecting and shaping real-world environments and experiences
- 8. How successful aperson 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.
- 10. Typology Of PeopleBased on the Triarchic Intelligence: • The Analyzer • The Creator • The Practioner • The Analytical Creator • The Analytical Practioner • The Creative Practioner • The Consummate Balancer
- 11. The Analyzer fares wellin academic environments, but isn't likely to make a creative contribution to the field
- 12. The Creator generates ideaseasily, but is unable to analyze these ideas or to put them into practice.
- 13. The Practioner is persuasiveand maybe entertaining, but lacks substance in thinking.
- 14. The Analytical Creator isable to analyze created ideas, but doesn't easily communicate these ideas to others.
- 15. The Analytical Practioner succeedsin conventional terms because high IQ is translated into practical work, but he is unlikely to make a lasting contribution.
- 16. The Creative Practioner hasthe ability to come up with new ideas and can persuade other people of the value of these ideas, regardless whether those ideas are worth it or not.
- 17. The Consummate Balancer isable to apply all of the three intelligences as needed, and is therefore in the best position to make a valuable contribution to society.
Editor's Notes
- #11 Well aware that most people differ in their general ability to use the three intelligences Sternberg later on developed a typology of people based on his theory, differentiating seven types:
