Practical intelligence involves shaping and selecting real-world experiences and environments. This means that one has to have the ability of solving difficulties concerning daily activities that one engages in. it involves use of common sense and street smartness in situations. The process of selecting and shaping an environment is with the aim of maximizing to fit in the situation.
