Overview of Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Human Intelligence (1977, 1985, 1995) subsumes both Spearmans g and underlying information processing components. Sternberg's theory builds on his earlier componential approach to reasoning. His theory is mostly based on observing Yale graduate students.
