Sternberg's Triarchic Theory is a theory of intelligence proposed by psychologist Robert J. Sternberg. It suggests that intelligence is composed of three types: analytical, creative, and practical.
Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence proposes three facets of intelligence: analytical (problem-solving), creative, and practical. This framework emphasizes the multidimensionality of human intelligence.
Robert Sternberg's research, particularly from the 1980s onwards, established this theory. Studies often involve comparing cognitive processes across different types of tasks to validate the distinct components of intelligence.
