The triarchic theory of intelligence represents which of the following approaches to understand intelligence?

  • A.Contextual approach
  • B.Psychometric approach
  • C.Information processing approach
  • D.Experimental approach

Answer: C

Sternberg's triarchic theory represents the information processing approach to intelligence. It looks at the mental processes (components) that go into intelligent behaviour, and it joins them to experience and context. The psychometric approach is based on tests and factor analysis, as in Spearman's and Thurstone's work. The contextual approach and the experimental approach are not the label the key gives to the triarchic theory.

Sternberg's three kinds, analytical, creative and practical, correspond to the componential, experiential and contextual parts of his theory.
