Theory of multiple intelligence emphasizes that

  • A.Intelligence Quotient (IQ) can be measured only by objective tests.
  • B.Intelligence in one domain ensures intelligence in all other domains.
  • C.There are several forms of intelligences.
  • D.There are no individual differences in intelligence.

Answer: C

The theory of multiple intelligences emphasizes that there are several forms of intelligences.

Howard Gardner (1983) argued that intelligence is not a single general ability. He described several relatively independent intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and, later, naturalist.

The other options contradict the theory. Gardner criticised reliance on a single IQ score from paper tests, so IQ measured only by objective tests is the view he rejected. Because the intelligences are independent, strength in one domain does not ensure strength in others. And the theory is built on individual differences, since each person has a different profile of intelligences.
