Triarchic Theory of Intelligence


The triarchic theory of intelligence was proposed in 1985 by Robert J. Sternberg. The theory states that intelligence can be categorized into three main types, namely analytical intelligence, practical intelligence and creative intelligence. Of these three, only the first is adequately measured by IQ-tests.
