List-I	List-II
(A) Poets and writers	(I) Intrapersonal
(B) Scientists	(II) Bodily-Kinaesthetic
(C) Philosophers and spiritual leaders	(III) Logical-Mathematical
(D) Athletes, dancers and gymnasts	(IV) Linguistic

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

To master questions on Gardner's theory, associate each type of intelligence with a key profession or skill. For example: Linguistic → Writer, Logical-Mathematical → Scientist, Spatial → Architect, Bodily-Kinaesthetic → Dancer, Musical → Composer, Interpersonal → Teacher, Intrapersonal → Philosopher, Naturalist → Biologist.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question is based on Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which suggests that human intelligence is not a single, general ability but is composed of several distinct types. The options in List-II represent four of these intelligences.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match each profession in List-I with the most relevant intelligence from List-II:


(A) Poets and writers: Their primary skill is the mastery of language, including writing, speaking, and understanding complex meanings. This corresponds to (IV) Linguistic intelligence.
(B) Scientists: They excel in reasoning, recognizing patterns, analyzing problems logically, and performing mathematical calculations. This corresponds to (III) Logical-Mathematical intelligence.
(C) Philosophers and spiritual leaders: Their work involves deep introspection, self-reflection, and understanding of the human condition, one's own feelings, and motivations. This corresponds to (I) Intrapersonal intelligence (self-smart).
(D) Athletes, dancers and gymnasts: They possess exceptional control over their body movements and have excellent hand-eye coordination and dexterity. This corresponds to (II) Bodily-Kinaesthetic intelligence.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Based on the matching, the correct sequence is: (A) maps to (IV), (B) maps to (III), (C) maps to (I), and (D) maps to (II). This combination is given in option (D).
