Topic: Sternberg's Triarchic Theory and Successful Intelligence
The triarchic theory of intelligence was proposed by Robert Sternberg. This theory is made up of three components that contribute to intelligent behavior including the practical component, the creative component, and the analytic component. Sternberg also defines his theory as the ability to be successful in life based on one’s abilities, personal desires, and environment.
Application: The combination of these components make up the intelligence of one person. The practical component, or "street smarts", includes adapting to the environment you are in, selecting environments in which you can succeed, and shaping your environment to fit your strengths. The creative component includes creating, inventing, discovering, and imagining. An example of a practical component can be communicating affectively or being an influence toward people you talk to. An example a creative component can be using your imagination to write a story or create artwork. And finally the analytic component includes planning, evaluating, analyzing, monitoring, comparing and contrasting, and filtering information. An example of an analytic component can be completing problem-solving tasks. I had always been told by many of my teachers that I offer a different perspective on a few assignments, as well as being very imaginative when it came to writing stories in elementary school. This clearly showed the creative component of my intelligence.
