Abstract
The triarchic theory of intellectual giftedness asserts that intelligence must be understood in terms of three aspects: (a) the internal world of the individual; (b) the external world of the individual; and (c) the interface between these two worlds as it unfolds through experience. Practical intelligence involves the ability to (a) select environments that are appropriate for one's talents, (b) adapt to those environments, and (c) shape those environments in ways which enhance one's talents. The theory is explained through the profiles of three graduate students.Keywords
