Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sternberg's theory of intelligence divides intelligence into three main components: analytical, creative, and practical intelligence. Analytical intelligence, which is assessed by standardized tests like the SAT, involves the ability to analyze, evaluate, judge, compare, and contrast. In this context, Monica's realization that her brother excelled in standardized tests suggests he was better in analytical intelligence, not necessarily smarter in a general sense.
