Three Forms of Intelligence


1.      In Chapter 21, it is said that there are three forms of intelligence. These three forms of intelligence were formed by Robert Sternberg. They are analytic intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence. Analytic intelligence is the form of intelligence where it involves the mental processes such as abstract planning, strategy selection, focused attention, and information processing. It also includes verbal and logical skills.  Creative intelligence is the form of intelligence that involves the capacity to be flexible and innovative. What was interesting to me was how people with unusual ideas, had high test scores! The third form of intelligence is practical intelligence. This type of intelligence is the intellectual skills that would be used in every day problem solving. Practical intelligence is important because of how it gives a person the ability to adapt their behavior in a certain situation. Unfortunately, there are no abstract tests that can test one’s practical intelligence.
I personally think that people should use the strengths in each type of intelligence and try to overcome the limitations that one may have in a certain type. Although Berger did not talk about how one would overcome the limitations, I would think that there are ways to practice or expand a form of intelligence.
