Question

According to Gardner, which of the following is not a type of intelligence?

• A. S-factor
• B. Linguistic intelligence
• C. Spatial intelligence
• D. None of these

Hint:

MI list has no “g” or “s”; those are Spearman, not Gardner.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall Multiple Intelligences (MI). Gardner proposed distinct intelligences such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic (sometimes existential).
Step 2: Eliminate distractors. Linguistic and Spatial are explicit MI types.
Step 3: Spot the outsider. S-factor (specific factor) belongs to Spearman’s two-factor theory, not to Gardner’s MI. \[ \boxed{\text{S-factor (Option A).}} \]
