Persons high on __________ intelligence have finer sensibilities rega…

The correct answer is Option (2) → Intrapersonal

Option (1) Interpersonal — Incorrect. Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand the motives, feelings and behaviours of other people so as to bond into a comfortable relationship with them; psychologists, counsellors and politicians are likely to be high on it. It looks at others, not at one’s own identity.

Option (2) Intrapersonal — Correct. Intrapersonal intelligence is the knowledge of one’s internal strengths and limitations and using that knowledge to relate effectively to others. Persons high on this ability have finer sensibilities regarding their identity, human existence, and meaning of life; philosophers and spiritual leaders are examples.

Option (3) Spatial — Incorrect. Spatial intelligence is the ability to form visual images and patterns and to use them in problem solving, as pilots, sailors and sculptors do. It deals with space, not with questions of identity.

Option (4) Linguistic — Incorrect. Linguistic intelligence is the capacity to use language fluently and flexibly to express one’s thinking and understand others; such people are ‘word-smart’.
