Detailed explanation-2: -The Triarchic Theory is comprised of three sub-theories, each of which relates to a specific kind of intelligence: the contextual sub theory, which corresponds to practical intelligence, or the ability to successfully function in one’s environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Triarchic Theory: One advocate of the idea of multiple intelligences is the psychologist Robert Sternberg. Sternberg has proposed a Triarchic (three-part) Theory of Intelligence that proposes that people may display more or less analytical intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence.

Detailed explanation-4: -Analytical intelligence: The componential subtheory is related to analytical intelligence, which is essentially academic intelligence. Analytical intelligence is used to solve problems and is the kind of intelligence that is measured by a standard IQ test.

Detailed explanation-5: -Practical intelligence. Practical intelligence involves individuals applying their abilities to the kinds of problems that confront them in daily life, such as on the job or in the home.
