Question 4

According to Gardner's multiple intelligences,a philosopher would rely on __________ intelligence whereas an engineer would utilize __________ intelligence.

Accepted Answer

According to Gardner's multiple intelligences, philosopher would rely on intrapersonal intelligence as it involves understanding one's own goals, emotions and thoughts through self-reflection and introspection. In contrast, an engineer would utilize logical-mathematical intelligence which involves analyzing problems, logical reasoning, and mathematical operations to solve technical problems.

Question 5

Howard Gardner and Robert Sternberg agree to be interviewed together on the topic of intelligence.At the end of the interview,what do you conclude is their major point of agreement?

Accepted Answer

Gardner and Sternberg both agree that standardized tests do not assess the many facets of intelligence. They both advocate for a broader understanding of intelligence that includes skills such as creativity, practical problem-solving, and social intelligence. They believe that intelligence is complex and cannot be accurately measured by a single test or score.

Question 6

According to Robert Sternberg,__________ refers to the ability to break problems down into component parts,or analysis,for problem solving.This is the type of intelligence that is measured by intelligence tests and academic achievement tests.

Accepted Answer

The description matches analytical intelligence, which is measured by intelligence tests and academic achievement tests. It involves being able to break problems down into components and using logical reasoning to solve them. Creative intelligence involves generating new and useful ideas, while practical intelligence involves applying knowledge to everyday situations. There is no such thing as exponential intelligence.

Question 7

Stephanie's friends describe her as someone who has the uncanny ability to say the right thing at the right time whenever someone is in need.According to Gardner,Stephanie's skills may reflect a type of __________ intelligence.

Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences includes interpersonal intelligence, which involves the ability to understand and interact effectively with others. This intelligence is often associated with skills like communication, empathy, and leadership, which seem to be reflected in Stephanie's ability to say the right thing at the right time for her friends. Other types of intelligence, like naturalistic intelligence (B), intrapersonal intelligence (C), and emotional intelligence (D), may also be relevant to Stephanie's skills in different ways, but interpersonal intelligence seems to be the best fit for the given description.

Question 8

Mr.Cutty is a businessman who is running intelligence tests on potential employees to determine whom would be the best to hire and have the highest job performance.According to Sternberg.which types of intelligence should Mr.Cutty be interested in?

Accepted Answer

Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence emphasizes practical and creative intelligences as crucial for real-world problem-solving and innovation, which are important for job performance.

Question 9

Gardner and his associates are known for proposing

Accepted Answer

Gardner and his associates are most well-known for proposing the theory of multiple intelligences, which suggests that there are multiple types of intelligence beyond just traditional measures of IQ. This theory has been influential in education and cognitive psychology.

Question 10

Marcos,a geology professor,has always been fascinated by the study of fossils,shells,and rock formations.According to Gardner,Marcos is strong in the area of __________ intelligence.

Accepted Answer

According to Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, naturalistic intelligence refers to the ability to understand and recognize patterns in nature, such as the characteristics of different plant and animal species, as well as geological formations. Marcos' fascination with fossils, shells, and rocks suggest a proficiency in naturalistic intelligence. Therefore, Choice A (naturalistic) is the best answer.

Question 11

What three types of intelligence constitute Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence includes analytical intelligence (analyzing, evaluating, and comparing information), creative intelligence (generating new ideas and solutions), and practical intelligence (applying knowledge to real-world situations). Option A includes intuitive intelligence, which is not a part of the theory. Option B includes general intelligence, which is not a part of the triarchic theory. Option D includes mathematical, reasoning, and verbal intelligence, which are specific examples of analytical intelligence in the triarchic theory.

Question 12

Sternberg is to Spearman as __________ is to __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Sternberg is to Spearman as __________ is...

Question 13

According to Robert Sternberg,__________ is best described as "street smarts," or the ability to use information to get along in life.People who have it know how to be tactful,how to manipulate situations to their advantage,and how to use inside information to increase their odds of success.

Accepted Answer

According to Robert Sternberg, practical intelligence is best described as "street smarts," or the ability to use information to get along in life, which includes being tactful, manipulating situations to one's advantage, and using insider information to increase the odds of success.

Question 14

Sternberg has found that __________ intelligence is a good predictor of success in life but has a low relationship to __________ intelligence.

Accepted Answer

Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence includes three components: analytical, practical, and creative. Practical intelligence, which involves the ability to solve everyday problems and adapt to new situations, is strongly correlated with success in life. Academic or analytical intelligence, which is often measured by IQ tests, has a weaker relationship to success in life. Therefore, the correct answer is A, where practical intelligence is a good predictor of success, but analytical intelligence has low correlation.

Question 15

Foster hasn't performed as well as he could have in school,but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders,does well at work,understands others,and could be said to have "street smarts." In this example,what type of intelligence is most applicable to Foster?

Accepted Answer

Foster's ability to understand others and perform well at work indicate practical intelligence, which is the ability to apply knowledge and skills to real-life situations. This is also known as "street smarts," which aligns with Foster's strengths.

Question 16

Sven is especially skilled when it comes to chart reading,map reading,and graph reading tasks.According to Gardner,Sven's skills reflect __________ intelligence.

Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences includes spatial intelligence, which refers to the ability to understand and manipulate visual and spatial relationships. Sven's skills in chart, map, and graph reading indicate a strong spatial intelligence.

Question 17

Sternberg's __________ model of intelligence offers a theory of multiple intelligences.

Accepted Answer

Sternberg's triarchic model of intelligence suggests that there are three types of intelligence: analytical, creative, and practical. This model goes beyond the traditional single intelligence factor and proposes that individuals possess varying degrees of each of these three intelligences.

Question 18

Which one of the following was tentatively proposed by Gardner as a possible ninth type of intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Gardner tentatively proposed existential intelligence as a possible ninth type of intelligence, referring to "the sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here?" However, it is important to note that this proposed ninth intelligence has not been widely accepted or recognized.

Analytical and creative intelligence are generally associated with different cognitive abilities, while "exponential intelligence" is not a recognized construct within psychology.

Question 20

According to Robert Sternberg,which type of intelligence is least likely to predict success in an academic environment?

Accepted Answer

Practical intelligence is related to everyday problem-solving and adapting to real-world environments, which is less emphasized in academic settings compared to analytical intelligence.
