Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A) Pilots and Architects — this matches (III) Spatial. Spatial intelligence is the ability to form, use and transform mental images; pilots, sailors, sculptors, painters, architects, interior decorators and surgeons are likely to have it highly developed.
(B) Counsellors and Politicians — this matches (IV) Interpersonal. Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand the motives, feelings and behaviours of other people and bond with them; psychologists, counsellors, politicians, social workers and religious leaders are high on it.
(C) Philosophers and Spiritual leaders — this matches (II) Intrapersonal. Intrapersonal intelligence is the knowledge of one’s own internal strengths and limitations; such persons have finer sensibilities about identity, human existence and the meaning of life.
(D) Singers and Composers — this matches (I) Musical. Musical intelligence is the capacity to produce, create and manipulate musical patterns, with great sensitivity to sounds and vibrations.
NCERT (2025-26): “Theory of Multiple Intelligences … Spatial (an ability to form visual images and patterns) : It refers to the abilities involved in forming, using, and transforming mental images. The person high on this intelligence can easily represent the spatial world in the mind. Pilots, sailors, sculptors, painters, architects, interior decorators, and surgeons are likely to have highly developed spatial intelligence. Musical (an ability to produce and manipulate musical rhythms and patterns) : It is the capacity to produce, create and manipulate musical patterns. Persons high on this intelligence are very sensitive to sounds and vibrations, and in creating new patterns of sounds. Bodily-Kinaesthetic (an ability to use whole or portions of the body flexibly and creatively) : This consists of the use of the whole body or portions of it for display or construction of products and problem solving. Athletes, dancers, actors, sportspersons, gymnasts, and surgeons are likely to have such kind of intelligence. 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.…” |
