Solution
Three types of multiple intelligence are as follows:
- Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Logical-mathematical intelligence encompasses thinking, problem-solving, and mathematical skills. Individuals with high logical-mathematical intelligence excel at problem analysis, pattern recognition, and logical deduction. They are proficient in critical thinking, logic, and numerical operations. Individuals with high logical-mathematical intelligence may like solving complex problems, dealing with abstract concepts, and succeeding in fields such as mathematics, engineering, or computer technology.
- Interpersonal Intelligence: Interpersonal intelligence refers to effectively understanding and communicating with others. Individuals with strong interpersonal intelligence are adept at understanding the emotions, intentions, and motivations of others. They have strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to connect with others. Successful careers in teaching, counselling, leadership, and negotiation require strong interpersonal intelligence. Strong interpersonal intelligence can lead to effective group collaboration, peaceful conflict resolution, and empathy for others.
- Spatial Intelligence: Spatial intelligence involves thinking in three dimensions. Spatial intelligence enhances the ability to perceive and manipulate objects in space. They value creative visualisation, have a strong sense of direction, and love sketching, producing, and using maps. Individuals with strong spatial intelligence can pursue careers in engineering, sculpture, graphic design, architecture, and other professions. Individuals with high spatial intelligence excel at navigating unfamiliar environments, visualizing complex structures, and excelling in activities that require spatial awareness and visualization skills.

This is a story of three students Ruby, Radhika and Shankar who were enrolled in an Undergraduate Psychology Program in a University. Ruby was the admission officer’s dream. She was selected for the program as she had perfect entrance test scores, outstanding grades and excellent letters of recommendation. But when it was time for Ruby to start coming up with ideas of her own, she disappointed her professors.
On the other hand, Radhika did not meet the admission officer’s expectations. She had good grades but low entrance exam scores. However, her letters of recommendation described her as a creative young woman. She could design and implement research work with minimal guidance at college.
Shankar ranked somewhere in between the two students. He was satisfactory on almost every traditional measure of success. But rather than falling somewhere in the middle of his class at college, Shankar proved to be an outstanding student. His strength lay in the ability to not only adapt well to the demands of his new environment but also to modify the environment to suit his needs.

Read the case study and answer the question that follows:
| When Srikanth Bolla was born, neighbours in the village suggested that his parents smother him. It was better than the pain they would have to go through their lifetime, some said. He is a “useless” baby without eyes; being born blind is a sin, others added. Twenty-three years later, Srikanth is standing tall living by his conviction that if the “world looks at me and says, Srikanth, you can do nothing, I look back at the world and say, I can do anything.” Srikanth is the Founder and CEO of Hyderabad-based Bollant Industries, an organisation that employs uneducated and challenged employees to manufacture eco-friendly, disposable consumer packaging solutions, which is worth ₹ 50 crore. He considers himself the luckiest man alive, not because he is now a millionaire but because his uneducated parents, who earned ₹ 20,000 a year, did not heed any of the ‘advice’ they received and raised him with love and affection. “They are the richest people I know,” says Srikanth. |
We can see that Srikanth has the ability to adopt, shape and select the environment. Identify the theory of intelligence that would best support our understanding of Srikanth's intelligence.
