What does Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences suggest about individuals?

Everyone has the same type of intelligence
People have different strengths and ways of representing knowledge
Intelligence can only be academic
Intelligence is purely genetic

The correct answer is: People have different strengths and ways of representing knowledge

Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences posits that individuals possess a variety of intelligences that reflect their unique abilities and ways of understanding the world. According to this theory, intelligence is not a single, fixed attribute measured solely by traditional academic performance, but rather a composite of different types of intelligences, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This perspective allows for a broader understanding of human capabilities, emphasizing that people can excel in diverse areas and have different strengths in representing and processing knowledge. By recognizing these varied intelligences, educators can tailor their teaching methods to meet the needs of individual students, which can enhance learning and engagement.
