Improving School Achievements
Studies showed that students in the successful intelligence condition (analyst, operational and practical) outperformed the other students in the performance assessment – even in the multiple choice memory test.
“It allows children to capitalize on their strengths and to correct or compensate for their weaknesses, and it allows children to encode material in a variety of interesting ways”. (Sternberg, p 64)
Improving Abilities
Practical intelligence is also “an important antecendent ” of life success. (Sternberg, p 66)
The level of intelligence causes a social dilemma. Many able persons will be disenfranchised, because the kinds of abilities they have, although important for job performance, are not important for test performance – e.g. the kinds of creative and practical skills.
