week 13 post 1

During this chapter it touched bases on the three form of intelligence by Robert Sternberg.  According Sternberg intelligence can be categorized in analytic intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence.  These are the three fundamental categorizations that can actually be tested scientifically and present results of some significance. Analytic intelligence means that it’s a form of intelligence that involves such mental processes as abstract planning, strategy selection, focused attention and information processing, as well as a verbal and logical skills. Creative intelligence is a form of intelligence that involves the capacity to be intellectually flexible and innovative. When speaking of practical intelligence one must keep in mind that it is the intellectual skill used in everyday problem solving, its sometimes called tactic intelligence practical intelligence. When one’s trying to understand practical intelligence one must grasp the idea of the adaptation of someone’s capacity to change their behavior to a given situation. That includes understanding of what’s expected of them. It seems as though one only really uses analytic intelligence during high school and college years. Which actually makes perfect sense those are after the years which we are challenged the most academically and critical. Cramming vast amount of information that we have to regurgitate it back on the various amount of test.
