Question Details

According to Howard Gardner while a scientist would exhibit high __________ Intelligence, a sculptor would have high __________ Intelligence.

Options

A

Naturalistic; Spatial

B

Transductive; Spatial

C

Logical-mathematical; Bodily Kinesthetic

D

Spatial; Bodily Kinesthetic

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Logical-mathematical; Bodily Kinesthetic

Solution :

The correct option is Logical-mathematical; Bodily Kinesthetic.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


1. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences:
Psychologist Howard Gardner proposed that human intelligence is not a single entity, but rather a collection of distinct, relatively autonomous modalities of intelligence. Among these types are Logical-mathematical intelligence and Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (along with spatial, linguistic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences).


2. Intelligence of a Scientist:
A scientist deals primarily with reasoning, calculating, analyzing logical structures, hypotheses, and quantitative systems. According to Gardner's theory, this capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically represents Logical-mathematical Intelligence.


3. Intelligence of a Sculptor:
A sculptor works with physical objects, fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and physical materials to manipulate forms in space. The ability to use one's whole body or body parts (like hands) to solve problems, create objects, or fashion products falls under Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence. (Note: While sculptors also utilize spatial intelligence, among the given options, the pair matching the scientist to Logical-mathematical and the sculptor to Bodily-kinesthetic is the correct match provided).


Therefore, a scientist exhibits high Logical-mathematical Intelligence, while a sculptor exhibits high Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence.
