Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences proposes that there are seven distinct types of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Therefore, an intelligence test based on this theory would likely score Etta's performance in each of these seven areas separately.
