Shamus grew up in an impoverished neighborhood with a lot of crime and poor educational opportunities. Because everyone fought over the few available resources, sometimes the only way to stay alive was to fight or steal. Shamus wants to go to college so he can build a better life for himself. When he begins taking classes, he's stunned by how few "street smarts" his classmates have. They might get better grades than he does, he thinks, but they wouldn't survive a week in the environment in which he grew up. According to Sternberg, about what kind of intellectual competence is Shamus thinking?

    The answer is: practical intelligence

    Practical intelligence refers to a type of intelligence that could only be acquired by experiencing a certain task directly. Not by reading, listening, or watching.

    Examples of a practical intelligence is how to develop a connection with other people in neighborhood. The only way for people develop that is by directly interacting with the people, learn about their characters, and form a personal relationship with them in order to make them their friends/ally.
