A. interpersonalB. intrapersonalC. linguisticD. naturalist

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Interpersonal

Explanation:

According to Howard Gardner who was an important development psychologist, human intelligence does not focus into one ability or aspect but instead has different modalities or types. This includes the naturalist or naturalistic intelligence that focuses on the ability of understanding one's surroundings and elements from nature; the linguistic that focuses on communication and includes the ability to use texts, speeches, etc.; the intrapersonal that focus on understating the self or who we are and the interpersonal that different from the intrapersonal focuses on understanding others' feelings, emotions, moods and being empathetic. This implies, Jake mostly exemplifies the Interpersonal intelligence because he has a natural ability to identify and understand others' experiences, feelings, etc. and also he can be on the position of others and be empathetic.
