Intelligence
Standard IQ tests measure a very narrow range of abilities and those abilities are inert, they do not predict or lead to actions or common sense mental skills necessary to achieve life's important goals (Robert Sternberg Bottom Line 3/15/97 P1)." Successful thinking is made up of three main segments:
analytical--ability to solve problems and judge them.
creative--ability to form new or clever solutions.
practical--ability to use your ideas and implement them effectively.
"Successful intelligence is most effective when all three aspects are in balance." People who possess successful intelligence know how to make the most of what they do well and are able to find ways to work around their limitations."
