thinking and practical thinking (Boardroom Inc., 1998). Sternberg argued that all three types of intelligence were essential for success. Analytical intelligence allows an individual to recognize there is a problem
and to solve that problem by judging different ideas; creative intelligence is the ability to think outside the box, to think about how to do things differently or to design
a new product, etc.; and practical intelligence is the ability to translate theory into practice or, another way to say this, is to put the abstract into the tangible (Rowe,
2004; Boardroom Inc., 1998). When these three types of intelligence are present and balanced, Sternberg calls it successful intelligence (Gavarny, 2007). Typically, analytical and practical intelligence are more highly
respected than creative intelligence (Gavarny, 2007). It is the analytical intelligence that leads to greater academic success, for instance, because this success is based mostly on tests. However, in Sternbergs
theory, people with successful intelligence are able to recognize that a problem exists (analytic), then consider different ways to solve the problem (creative) and finally translate those ideas into action
(practical). In fact, Sternberg argues that creativity is a process that involves the application of all three aspects of intelligence (Gavarny, 2007). Creativity, then, is part of creative intelligence, which
is the ability to go beyond the traditional by generating new and innovative ideas (Gavarny, 2007). The use of creative intelligence is linked to our own mind set or
mental model. This term was initially proposed by Kenneth Craik, a Scottish psychologist who said that our minds create "small scale models" of what we believe is reality (Johnson-Laird, Girotto,
and Legrenzi, 2008). These authors describe mental models or mind sets as "psychological representations of real, hypothetical, or imaginary situations" (Johnson-Laird, Girotto, and Legrenzi, 2008). If we each have mind
