Question:

Who emphasized that different types of intelligences interact and work together to find a solution to a problem?

Options:

Howard Gardner

Sternberg

Louis Thurstone

Sigmund Freud

Correct Answer:

Howard Gardner

Explanation:

Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. According to him, intelligence is not a single entity; rather distinct types of intelligences exist. Each of these intelligences are independent of each other. This means that, if a person exhibits one type of intelligence, it does not necessarily indicate being high or low on other types of intelligences. Gardner also put forth that different types of intelligences interact and work together to find a solution to a problem.
