This study is to suggest the alternative to limits of intelligence focused on Psychometric tests. Through this study, it was found that triarchic theory of intelligence and thinking styles, which were suggested by Sternberg, were useful. The subjects are 122 student who are at three science-high-schools. The results show that the subjects preferred judicial, executive, and hierarchical rather than conservative styles of thinking, and they had strong analytical, creative, and practical ability. The correlation between academic achievement and triarchic intelligence except automation was significant. The difference of academic achievements was not significant by styles of thinking related to creativity and pattern of triarchic intelligence. There was no interaction between two variables as we expected. The practical ability illustrated the total academic performance very well. And executive, judicial thinking styles were prediction variable in case of considering with triarchic intelligence. Through the results, it could be suggested that triarchic intelligence and thinking styles of non cognitive concept could be important standard referred to selection for the science-gifted, and argued that the reform of the science-high-school was needed to produce the creative-productive science-gifted student.

Successful Intelligence (SI) developed by R. Sternberg has impacted on various fields such as education and industry, providing with intuitive view-points concerning the definition, nature, and measurement of intelligence. It would be a timely work to review how SI has been progressed, what contributions it made, what it has influenced on intelligence research in Korea, and what the implications of SI for future research are. With that in mind, this review is composed of several sections. First, an overview of the SI's historical development and main characteristics and contributions is presented with three distinct periods: Era of the Componential Theory, of Triarchic Theory, and of Successful Intelligence. Second, Selected researches conducted in Korea based on SI are summarized. Lastly, future research for validation of SI is discussed.
