| Intelligence can be analytic, creative or practical. IQ tests may only focus on analytic intelligence, but the other two are equally important. | |

| The practical subtheory stresses cultural variation in intelligence, so the theory seems less ethnocentric than Cattell's version. | |

| Also Sternberg's theory seems too descriptive, without telling us where or how these abilities operate in the mind | |
