s
Triarchic
Theory
of
Intelligence
The
element
is
the
analytic
aspect
of
intelligence
;
it
encompasses
information
-
processing
skills
.
It
tells
people
how
to
solve
problems
,
how
to
monitor
solutions
,
and
how
to
evaluate
the
results
.
Conventional
IQ
tests
commonly
test
this
aspect
of
intelligence
.
The
element
is
insightful
or
creative
;
it
determines
how
people
approach
novel
or
familiar
tasks
.
It
allows
people
to
compare
new
information
with
what
they
already
know
and
to
come
up
with
new
ways
of
putting
facts
together
?
in
other
words
,
to
think
originally
.
A
creative
-
verbal
test
might
ask
children
to
solve
deductive
reasoning
problems

off

)
.
The
element
is
practical
;
it
determines
how
people
deal
with
their
environment
.
It
is
the
ability
to
size
up
a
situation
and
decide
what
to
do
:
adapt
to
it
,
change
it
,
or
get
out
of
it
.
A
test
of
practical
-
quantitative
intelligence
might
be
to
solve
an
everyday
math
problem
about
buying
tickets
to
a
ball
game
or
following
a
recipe
for
making
cookies

Multiple
Intelligences
Visual
-
-
children
who
learn
best
visually
and
organizing
things
spatially
.
They
like
to
see
what
you
are
talking
about
in
order
to
understand
.
They
enjoy
charts
,
graphs
,
maps
,
tables
,
illustrations
,
art
,
puzzles
,
costumes
-
anything
eye
catching
.
Verbal
-
-
children
who
demonstrate
strength
in
the
language
arts
:
speaking
,
writing
,
reading
,
listening
.
These
students
have
always
been
successful
in
traditional
classrooms
because
their
intelligence
lends
itself
to
traditional
teaching
.
__
-
-
children
who
display
an
aptitude
for
numbers
,
reasoning
and
problem
solving
.
This
is
the
other
half
of
the
children
who
typically
do
well
in
traditional
classrooms
where
teaching
is
logically
sequenced
and
students
are
asked
to
conform
.
Bodily
-
-
children
who
experience
learning
best
through
activity
:
games
,
movement
,
hands
-
on
tasks
,
building
.
These
children
were
often
labeled
"
overly
active
"
in
traditional
classrooms
where
they
were
told
to
sit
and
be
still
!
Musical
-
-
children
who
learn
well
through
songs
,
patterns
,
rhythms
,
instruments
and
musical
expression
.
It
is
easy
to
overlook
children
with
this
intelligence
in
traditional
education
.
__
-
-
children
who
are
especially
in
touch
with
their
own
feelings
,
values
and
ideas
.
They
may
tend
to
be
more
reserved
,
but
they
are
actually
quite
intuitive
about
what
they
learn
and
how
it
relates
to
themselves
.
__
-
-
children
who
are
noticeably
people
oriented
and
outgoing
,
and
do
their
learning
cooperatively
in
groups
or
with
a
partner
.
These
children
may
have
typically
been
identified
as
"
talkative
"
or
"
too
concerned
about
being
social
"
in
a
traditional
setting
.
__
-
-
children
who
love
the
outdoors
,
animals
,
field
trips
.
More
than
this
,
though
,
these
students
love
to
pick
up
on
subtle
differences
in
meanings
.
The
traditional
classroom
has
not
been
accommodating
to
these
children
.
