Compare and contrast Gardner’s and Sternberg’s theories of intelligence

What will be an ideal response?


A good answer would include the following key points:
1 . Both theories divide intelligence into multiple parts.
2 . Gardner’s theory consists of eight distinct types of intelligence (musical, naturalist, interpersonal, intrapersonal, spatial, linguistic, logical mathematical, and bodily kinesthetic). Although they are independent types of intelligence, they operate together, depending on the type of task.
3 . Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence consists of three aspects: componential, experiential, and contextual. People tend to vary in the degree to which each of these three elements is present.
