Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that bodily-kinesthetic intelligence involves the ability to control one's body movements skillfully and handle objects in a coordinated way, which includes abilities relevant to athletics. Therefore, Tony's athletic ability suggests he may have a high level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence despite his poor academic performance.
