Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

intrapersonal; spatial

Solution :

The correct answer is intrapersonal; spatial.


According to Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, individuals possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways. Two of these key intelligences include:


1. Intrapersonal Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves self-reflection, deep awareness of one's own feelings, emotions, goals, and thought processes. Philosophers typically excel in intrapersonal intelligence as they spend significant time reflecting on existence, morality, human nature, and personal meaning.


2. Spatial Intelligence: This involves the ability to visualize, perceive, and manipulate three-dimensional spaces and relationships in one's mind. Sculptors rely heavily on spatial intelligence to convert raw materials into complex three-dimensional forms and comprehend structural balance and spatial relationships.


Therefore, a philosopher has more intrapersonal intelligence, and a sculptor has more spatial intelligence.
