Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2
Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. According to him, intelligence is not a single entity; rather distinct types of intelligence exist.
- Each of this intelligence is independent of each other. This means that, if a person exhibits one type of intelligence, it does not necessarily indicate being high or low on other types of intelligence. That is why different intelligence demands different methods for different students.
- Gardner also put forth that different types of intelligence interact and work together to find a solution to a problem.
Following are types of intelligence-
|
Linguistic
|
It is the capacity to use the language fluently and flexibly to express one’s thinking and understand others, for example, Poets, writers, lawyers, journalists,
|
|
Logical-Mathematical
|
skills in scientific thinking and problem solving, for example, Scientists, engineers, physicist, economists.
|
|
Spatial
|
skills in forming visual images and patterns, for example, architects, painters, interior designers, surgeons, pilots, divers and sailors.
|
|
Musical
|
sensitivity to musical rhythms and patterns, for example, singers, music composers, instrumentalists and musicians.
|
|
Bodily-Kinaesthetic
|
the ability to use and control one’s body movements and actions, for example, athletes, actors, sportspersons, acrobats, yoga practitioners, surgeons, police officers and soldiers.
|
|
Interpersonal

sensitivity to subtle aspects of others’ behaviours
|
|
Intrapersonal
|
awareness of one’s own feelings, motives, and desires
|
|
Naturalistic

|
Thus from above-mentioned points, it is clear that 2 is correctly matched.
