Abstract
The present study was conducted to derive the psychometric properties of the Bahraini version of the Practical Intelligence Test (PIT), which is a part of the applied intelligence test developed by Sternberg et al. (2008). This test is based on Sternberg's theory of triarchic intelligence. The scale consisted of twenty multiple-choice items, and after each situation, three options are presented that represent different ways to address the problem according to the concept of practical intelligence. The first option is an adaptation (you will try to adapt to the environment). The second option represents changing the environment. The third option is to look for another environment (you decide to leave the environment completely). The population of the study consisted of undergraduate students in public and private universities in the Kingdom of Bahrain enrolled in the 2019/2018 academic year. One of the six universities has been selected. A stratified sample of 300 undergraduate students was distributed by sex and grade level. The results revealed that: (a) practical Intelligence is uni-dimensional, (2) the PIT has high levels of validity and reliability, and (3) the practical intelligence performance varies according to gender and in favour of males.
