Question

Which intelligence is NOT included in Gardner's theory of multiple Intelligences?

This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Emotional

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences includes linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences, with existential intelligence later proposed as a possible additional type.

Emotional intelligence is a separate construct developed independently by researchers such as Salovey, Mayer, and later popularised by Daniel Goleman — it was never part of Gardner's framework.

Since intrapersonal and naturalistic are core intelligences in Gardner's original theory, and existential is a widely discussed extension of it, emotional intelligence is the one that does not belong to Gardner's theory.
