Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that intelligence is composed of many separate mental abilities, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence. This is in contrast to traditional views of intelligence as a single, overall mental ability (choice A) or a few dependent mental abilities (choice B). Additionally, Gardner's theory does not emphasize analytical and logical thinking (choice D) as the sole measure of intelligence, but instead recognizes a wide range of different cognitive strengths and abilities.
