Question

When a person solves problems by utilizing his/her prior experience, as well as insight and coping ability/skills for new situations, Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence would suggest that person was demonstrating
a) contextual intelligence.
b) experiential intelligence.
c) practical intelligence.
d) componential intelligence.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is b) experiential intelligence.

Explanation:

This type of intelligence relies on being intellectually innovative and flexible. It also deals with how well a task is performed in relation with how familair it is.

There are two possible scenarios:

• The person must face a situation that is new for them, and must adapt and find a solution for it.
• The person has become automated, which means he/she has performed the task many times in the past, and now can be done with little or no thought.
