E. Intelligence Throughout the Lifespan Intelligence is a complex concept that includes problem-solving, learning, memory, and reasoning. While traditional views focused on analytical thinking, modern theories recognize that intelligence exists in multiple forms beyond just academic ability. Theories of Intelligence Intelligence is more than just problem-solving and memory; it includes creativity, adaptability, and practical skills. Different theories help explain the many ways people can be intelligent. Robert Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory

Sternberg proposed that intelligence has three main types: ●​ Analytical Intelligence: Solving problems, thinking logically, and analyzing information. Measured by IQ and achievement tests. ●​ Creative Intelligence: Generating new ideas and thinking outside the box. Measured through artistic or imaginative tasks. ●​ Practical Intelligence: Applying

knowledge to real-life situations. Measured by decision-making and problem-solving in daily life.

This theory shows that intelligence is not just about school performance but also about creativity and practical problem-solving.
