Question

Kate cuts her foot while hiking. She forgot to pack bandages, but she has a tube of superglue and uses that to seal the wound. Kate’s ability to invent a solution uses the ________ intelligence component of the triarchic theory of intelligence.
(A) analytic.
(B) creative.
(C) fluid.
(D) practical

Answer 1

Answer:

B - Creative.

Explanation:

In the triarchic theory of intelligence we found 3 types: practical, creative and analytic. The creative one, the one we care about, is described as follows: one’s ability to use existing knowledge to create new ways to handle new problems or cope in new situations. In this case, Kate handles a problem (the cut) with something new, which is the tube of superglue.
