Miguel,a local fisherman in Costa Rica,uses signs from nearby birds to help him find the best fishing spots each day.According to Sternberg,Miguel is using

A) componential intelligence.
B) experiential intelligence.
C) contextual intelligence.
D) naturalist intelligence.

Miguel is using contextual intelligence, according to Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence. This form of intelligence involves the ability to understand and operate effectively in a particular context, in this case, using environmental cues (signs from birds) to enhance fishing success. It reflects an adaptive use of one's environment to achieve goals, distinguishing it from the analytical nature of componential intelligence, the creative aspect of experiential intelligence, and the specific focus on nature in naturalist intelligence.
