Abstract
We seek to elucidate the interrelations among intelligence, creativity, and wisdom. We suggest that these constructs are not separate psychological entities but rather functional categories that represent different kinds of interactions among persons, tasks, and situations. They all begin with propensities, which are abilities, whose effects are moderated by personality, motivations, and emotions. The propensities are applied to tasks presented in various types of situations. Whether the propensities and the acts that result from them are intelligent, creative, and/or wise depends on the particular interaction of the person with the task and situation. Meta-intelligence then controls, monitors, and evaluates the interactions to optimize behavior that is responsive to the demands of the environment.
