Sternberg and Gardners Intelligences
Appendix A: Sternberg’s Intelligences
| Type of Intelligence | Description/ Definition/ Examples |
|
Analytical Intelligence |
· Students that often excel in a school-based setting.
· Most similar intelligence to what an IQ test is trying to show. · Not only excel in Academic areas but whatever subject problem-solving and decision-making processes come to play. · Students who are adept to planning, monitoring, and evaluating. |
|
Practical Intelligence |
· The generalization of knowledge gained in a particular context to other contexts that appear in one’s life.
· Acquiring information and then applying it to the world in which they live in. · A more individualistic form of intelligence than Analytical intelligence. (e.g: what is useful in my life may not be useful in yours.) · Students who are adept to strategizing, planning, and prioritizing. |
|
Creative Intelligence |
· Important when we encounter reoccurring situations and when we encounter novel situations. Novel situations require skill that can be loosely based on past experiences, and some people cope better at this than others. However, reoccurring situations often have some sort of automatization, and free up attention for elsewhere.
· Students with creative intelligence produce novel ideas and are willing to elaborate on them, creating successful ideas or inventions. · Best with minimal structure or restraint. · Created through observation. · Teachers should: question standards, allow for mistakes, and encourage risks. |
