Which of the following is listed as one of the seven intelligences?

• A. Linguistic
• B. Spatial
• C. Intrapersonal
• D. Altruistic

Answer: (A)

Linguistic thinking is one of the intelligences identified in Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. It covers abilities with language—reading, writing, speaking, and storytelling—and people who are strong in this area learn well through words and verbal communication. Among the options, this is the item that directly represents a recognized intelligence in Gardner’s framework. Spatial describes visual–spatial reasoning, intrapersonal is about understanding oneself, and altruistic is a behavioral trait rather than a listed intelligence. So linguistic is the correct choice because it aligns with the established set of seven intelligences.
