Document Summary

Intelligent tests were meant to put a number on how intelligent a person is (how much knowledge/intelligence they have) The more recent cognitive perspective is what people do with the amount of intelligence they have. Some people argue it depends on what you do with the knowledge you have that determines your intelligence level. Cognitive perspective focuses on the process of i. q. rather than on the amount. Experiential sub theory: how our past experience affects our intelligence and how our intelligence affects how we experience things. Componential sub theory: specifies the cognitive processes that underlie intelligent behaviour, Sternberg further subdivided this theory into three different parts (meta components, knowledge-acquisition components, and performance components) He says that we have three facts of intelligence: analytical intelligence, practical intelligence and creative intelligence. Analytical intelligence: being book smart, the type of education and knowledge you need to do well in school.
