Who is associated with promoting expansion of methods to view and measure intelligence?

• A. Gardner
• B. Sternberg
• C. Spearman
• D. Binet

Answer: (B)

Expanding the ways we view and measure intelligence means moving beyond a single IQ score to capture a broader range of abilities, including how people solve real-world problems, adapt to new situations, and think creatively. This is central to Sternberg’s work. He proposed the triarchic theory of intelligence, dividing it into analytical, practical, and creative components, and he argued that assessments should examine performance across diverse contexts, not just traditional test items. By emphasizing multiple dimensions of ability and real-world applicability, he promoted broader methods for viewing and measuring intelligence. Gardner also broadened the concept with multiple intelligences, but Sternberg’s emphasis on expanding measurement approaches is the connection that the question highlights.
