Question

When a person exhibits success facing everyday, real-world demands such as those found in on-the-job professional demands, sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence would suggest that person was demonstrating __________ intelligence?

Answer 1

According to Sternberg’s triarchic theory intelligence, the person was demonstrating “contextual intelligence”.

Contextual intelligence refers to our ability to appreciate the boundaries of our knowledge and to adapt that knowledge to a situation different from the one in which it was developed. An example of this would be a therapist who is proficient in applying the knowledge learned at school and using it to help diverse clients with various issues and situations.
