Question

Which of the following is NOT a part of Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences?

• A. Musical
• B. Componential
• C. Interpersonal
• D. Intrapersonal

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences identifies various types of intelligences, including:

Musical: The ability to understand and create music, recognizing pitch, rhythm, and tone.

Interpersonal: The ability to understand and interact effectively with others, recognizing their emotions, motivations, and intentions.

Intrapersonal: The capacity for self-reflection and understanding one’s own feelings, goals, and motivations.

Componential intelligence is not one of Gardner’s intelligences. It refers to analytical or academic intelligence within traditional intelligence theories, focusing on problem-solving, reasoning, and cognitive abilities, but it is not a distinct type of intelligence in Gardner's framework. Gardner’s theory emphasizes diverse abilities beyond just academic skills.
