Definition

  • Practical intelligence is one of the three forms of intelligence besides analytical intelligence and creative intelligence as theorized by Robert Sternberg in his triarchic theory of intelligence. Practical intelligence, also known as common sense or street smarts, is the intelligence that is highly valued in daily life, often more so than academic intelligence or book smarts.
