Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence, creative intelligence involves the ability to think outside the box, come up with unique solutions to problems, and generate novel ideas. Ira's ability to come up with effective solutions for complex problems despite not doing well on traditional intelligence tests suggests that he has high creative intelligence. However, his lack of success on analytical and logical-mathematical tests suggests that his analytical intelligence may be lower. Practical intelligence, which involves the ability to adapt to real-world situations and solve practical problems, is not mentioned in the scenario and therefore cannot be determined.
