Sternberg, R. J. (1997). The triarchic theory of human intelligence. In D. P. Fanagan, J. L. Genshaft, & P. L. Harrison (Eds.), Contemporary intellectual assessment: Theories, tests, and issues (pp. 92–104). New York, NY: Guilford Press.

Gardner’s book describes his theory, which is based on the existence of specific brain functions related to talents often overlooked by traditional tests of intelligence. The books by Aiken and by Kaplan and Saccuzzo provide excellent discussions of the differential, or psychometric, approach to intelligence. Sternberg’s chapter describes his information-processing theory of intelligence.
