Question

Throw light, in brief, on Multi-Intelligence Theory given by Gardner.

Hint:

Answer 1

Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, introduced in 1983, identifies eight distinct types of intelligence that people may possess in varying degrees: \begin{enumerate} \item Linguistic Intelligence: Ability to use words effectively (e.g., writers, poets). \item Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Skill in reasoning and numbers (e.g., scientists, mathematicians). \item Musical Intelligence: Sensitivity to sound and music (e.g., musicians, composers). \item Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: Using the body effectively (e.g., athletes, dancers). \item Spatial Intelligence: Ability to think in three dimensions (e.g., architects, artists). \item Interpersonal Intelligence: Understanding and interacting with others (e.g., teachers, therapists). \item Intrapersonal Intelligence: Understanding oneself (e.g., philosophers, psychologists). \item Naturalistic Intelligence: Recognizing and categorizing natural elements (e.g., biologists, farmers). \end{enumerate}
