The theory of successful intelligence was developed and tested by Robert
Sternberg attempts to predict success in life across analytical, creative, and practical dimensions.
Important Points

Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence attempts to go beyond the prediction of school grades to account for success in all settings of a person's life.  According to the theory, successful intelligence is best predicted along three dimensions: the analytical, the creative, and the practical.

  • Analytical intelligence is involved when a person analyzes, evaluates, judges, or compares and contrasts stimuli. Analytical intelligence is mostly what is measured on IQ tests, and tends to involve problems that are fairly abstract in nature.
  • Practical intelligence is involved when an individual applies knowledge to his or her daily life. The key concept Sternberg and his colleagues have used to define practical intelligence is tacit knowledge.
  • Creative intelligence is involved when an individual creates, explores, imagines, supposes, or synthesizes stimuli. Sternberg’s investment theory of creativity views creativity as a decision wherein the creative thinker produces an idea that is initially unpopular (buys low), then sells it high, and eventually moves on to the next creative idea once the last one has become popular
Hence, we can conclude that Robert Sternberg gives three dimensions: the analytical, the creative, and the practical.
