Which of the following views about intelligence supports the respectful consideration of diversity among learners ?

The correct option is: Intelligence is multidimensional and can change over time.

Modern psychological theories of intelligence (such as Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Robert Sternberg's Triarchic Theory) view intelligence not as a single fixed general ability, but as a complex, multidimensional set of capacities. This view recognizes that individuals possess varied strengths across different domains—such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal abilities.

Furthermore, recognizing that intelligence can develop and change over time (a growth mindset perspective) aligns with inclusive education. It supports respectful consideration of diversity among learners by acknowledging that every learner has unique potential and can improve through appropriate guidance, effort, and learning experiences, rather than judging them strictly by a static measure or a single test score.
