(A) Howard Gardner — this matches (II) Theory of Multiple Intelligence. Gardner held that intelligence is not a single entity: there are distinct types of intelligence, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial and musical, independent of each other.
(B) Salovey and Mayer — this matches (I) Emotional Intelligence. They first introduced the concept, as the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions.
(C) William Stern — this matches (IV) Intelligence Quotient. In 1912 this German psychologist devised the concept of IQ: mental age divided by chronological age, multiplied by 100.
