Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are at least eight different types of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligence. These intelligences are all thought to be relatively independent of each other, and each is defined within the context of a particular culture. Therefore, option B best characterizes Gardner's view of intelligence.
