Abbey is a great sculptor and can imagine objects and places in her mind. According to Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory, which intelligence does this describe?
  1. Spatial
  2. Auditory-musical
  3. Linguistic
  4. Kinesthetic
Explanation
Answer: A - According to Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory, Abbey has a strong spatial intelligence. Individuals with spatial intelligence have the capacity to perceive the visual-spatial world accurately and to perform transformations of their initial perceptions. In this example, Abbey’s intelligence is manifested through her sculpting talent. Critics of Gardner’s theory assert that these multiple intelligences are actually talents or learning styles rather than true intelligence.
