Assertion: Interpersonal intelligence involves the ability to understand the motives and feelings of others.
Reasoning: Philosophers and spiritual leaders are likely to possess high interpersonal intelligence.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Assertion is true, but the Reasoning is false.
Interpersonal (an ability to understand to subtle aspects of others’ behaviours) : This is the ability to understand the motives, feelings and behaviours of other people so as to bond into a comfortable relationship with others. Psychologists, counsellors, politicians, social workers, and religious leaders are likely to possess high interpersonal intelligence.
Intrapersonal (an ability to understand of one’s own feelings, motives, and desires): This refers to the knowledge of one’s internal strengths and limitations and using that knowledge to effectively relate to others. Persons high on this ability have finer sensibilities regarding their identity, human existence, and meaning of life. Philosophers and spiritual leaders present examples of this type of intelligence.
