Question

According to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, a community living near the Arctic Circle 500 years ago without any contact with other societies was likely to have ascribed the characteristic of intelligence to someone who ____.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A community living near this area was likely to have ascribed the characteristic of intelligence to someone who was skilled at catching seals, fish and small game.

Explanation:

Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence centers on the idea that there is more than one type of intelligence, that these intelligences develop from various skills.

These are:

• Visual-spatial
• Linguistic-verbal
• Logical-mathematical
• Interpersonal
• Intrapersonal
• Bodily-kinesthetic
• Musical
• Naturalistic

From this approach, we can conclude that this community, which did not have any contact with other societies, and lived near the Arctic Circle, likely ascribed the intelligence characteristics to someone who had skills at getting food.

This would most likely refer to the naturalistic intelligence because in this society and in that time, that was what could be most valued since it was the basis for everyone's survival.
