Furthermore, there is 2 parts, novelty: the main concern is a person ability dealing with new problems while the other part is automation: where the main concern people’s ability to do repeated tasks. Usually, creative individuals have the talent to create new ideas, invent, discover and predict etc. This intelligence to summarize gives us the skills to come up with new ideas to solve problems.
Analytical intelligence:
Componential subtheory is also split up into 3 components. For example, Metacomponents: ability to solve problem and make decisions, performance components: another ability for using relations to solve problems and knowledge-acquisition component which helps us get new information. By using all these, individuals perform well in solving problems in every day life as well as have abstract thinking and possess evaluation skills. (Sternberg, (1988) The Triarchic Mind: A New Theory of Intelligence. NY: Viking Press.)

All 3 intelligences need to be used in order to deal with everyday life problems or adapt to suit our needs. Nonetheless, the strengths of applying the theory in SEN schools can be seen as a positive accomplishment in their studies and overall 3 intelligences. However, there are limitations of this theory such as being too wide-ranging and using only some forms of questions to define intelligence. Additionally, Hong Kong schools are usually exam-orientated and teach only till the test so I also explained how teachers can help improve students lacking or awful traits in creative and practical aspect. Hong Kong students can be better overall if there are some changes to the way of
