Question
Which of the following pair is NOT a category of Intelligence proposed by Howard Gardner?
The correct answer is
Musical & Motivational
Gardner's Intelligence Theory Overview
Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences proposes that intelligence is not a single, general ability but rather a collection of distinct intelligences. Each individual possesses a unique blend of these intelligences.
Identifying Gardner's Intelligences
The commonly recognized intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner are:
- Linguistic
- Logical-Mathematical
- Musical
- Bodily-Kinesthetic
- Spatial
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalistic (added later)
- Existential (considered later)
Analysis of Options
Let's examine each pair based on Gardner's recognized intelligences:
- Option 1: Spatial & Logical Mathematical - Both Spatial and Logical-Mathematical are recognized intelligences in Gardner's theory.
- Option 2: Musical & Motivational - Musical is a recognized intelligence. However, 'Motivational' is not one of the intelligence categories proposed by Howard Gardner.
- Option 3: Interpersonal & Bodily-Kinesthetic - Both Interpersonal and Bodily-Kinesthetic are recognized intelligences.
- Option 4: Linguistic & Intrapersonal - Both Linguistic and Intrapersonal are recognized intelligences.
Conclusion on Intelligence Categories
The pair that does NOT fit into Howard Gardner's framework of Multiple Intelligences is Musical & Motivational, as 'Motivational' is not a distinct intelligence category according to his theory.
