Corrie is well liked by all her classmates. She has lots of friends and is always one of the first people chosen whenever there are group projects. According to Gardner, at which type of intelligence does Corrie likely excel?

A) interpersonal
B) intrapersonal
C) naturalistic
D) visuospatial


Answer: A
Rationale: Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to detect another person's emotional states, motives, and thoughts. In contrast, intrapersonal (self) intelligence involves self-awareness; the ability to accurately judge one's own abilities, and identify one's own emotions and motives. While both types of intelligences may contribute to the fact that Corrie is well liked, interpersonal intelligence is likely to be the most important.

Jodee, age 5, insists on having all of the different foods on her plate separated. If the vegetables touch the meat, for example, she insists on a clean plate. Jodee's parents are concerned about this behavior. What advice would you offer them?

Take Jodee to a child psychiatrist as soon as possible. Allow Jodee to grow out of this "just-right" obsession. Use positive reinforcement to teach Jodee that it's okay if her foods touch each other. Punish Jodee by taking her food away from her if she refuses to eat.
