Intelligence theory incorporates the mental processes involved in intelligence (i.e. meta- components) and the varied forms that intelligence can take (i.e. creative intelligence). This refers to

Options

A. Spearman's 'g' factor
B. Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence
C. Savant theory of intelligence
D. Thurstone's primary mental abilities

Answer

B

Explanation

Sternberg.s triarchic theory of Human Intelligence subsumes both Spearman.s g factor and underlying information processing components. His triarchic theory includes three facts or sub-theories
Analytical (componential)
Creative (experiential)
Practical (contextual)
Sternberg.s theory builds on his earlier componential approach to reasoning. His theory is mostly based on observing Yale graduate students. Sternberg believes that if intelligence is properly defined and measured it will translate to real-life success.
