Psychology QUESTION #9735
Question 1
Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences challenges the concept of a single IQ score by proposing several independent intelligences. Which of the following is NOT one of Gardner's originally proposed intelligences?
  • Linguistic intelligence
  • Emotional intelligence✔️
  • Musical intelligence
  • Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
Correct Answer Explanation
Emotional Intelligence was not part of Howard Gardner's original eight intelligences. Gardner originally proposed: Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Spatial, Musical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Naturalistic intelligences (a ninth — Existential — was later proposed tentatively). Emotional intelligence was popularized by Daniel Goleman and is related to but separate from Gardner's framework.
