Question 9

A psychologist administers an IQ test to a child and finds a high score in logical-mathematical reasoning but a low score in interpersonal skills. If the psychologist applies Gardner's MI theory to interpret these scores, what is the MOST appropriate conclusion?

Accepted Answer

B. The child has strong logical intelligence but weak social intelligence, indicating a need for targeted interventions. — Gardner's MI theory allows for high performance in one intelligence (e.g., logical-mathematical) while another (e.g., interpersonal) may be weaker. The psychologist would conclude that the child excels in logical reasoning but may struggle socially, requiring interventions to develop interpersonal skills. Option A misapplies Spearman's 'g' factor, while Option C incorrectly dismisses the test's validity. Option D conflates interpersonal skills with emotional intelligence, which Gardner treats as a distinct domain.

Answer

A. The child has a low overall IQ and may need special education.

Answer

C. The IQ test is invalid because it does not measure all forms of intelligence.

Answer

D. The child's low interpersonal score suggests a deficit in emotional intelligence.
