Question

According to Robert Sternberg, Creative intelligence is also known as:

• A. Analytical intelligence
• B. Experiential intelligence
• C. Contextual intelligence
• D. Componential intelligence

Hint:

Sternberg: componential = analytical, experiential = creative, contextual = practical.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question:
Sternberg's triarchic theory has three kinds of intelligence. Each kind has two names. We need the second name of creative intelligence.

Step 2: Recall the triarchic theory:
The three types are componential or analytical, experiential or creative, and contextual or practical. Each pair describes the same ability in two ways.

Step 3: Check option 1 (Analytical):
Analytical intelligence is the same as componential intelligence. It is used when we analyse, compare and judge. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2 (Experiential):
Experiential intelligence is the ability to deal with new situations and to come up with new ideas. This is the creative type. So option 2 is correct.

Step 5: Check option 3 (Contextual):
Contextual intelligence is the practical, street smart type. It means adjusting to the surroundings. So option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4 (Componential):
Componential intelligence is another name for analytical intelligence, not creative. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
Creative intelligence is also called experiential intelligence. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 2: Experiential intelligence}} \]
