Answer 1

Answer:

Naturalist intelligence

Explanation:

Howard Gardner is an American psychologist that developed a theory on multiple intelligences. He published this theory in 1983 to introduce the idea that humans are intelligent in different aspects of life, instead of considering only one specific type of intelligence and categorizing everyone based on this single standard.

The intelligences originally proposed by Gardner were:

1. Verbal-linguistic
2. Visual-spatial
3. Musical-rhythmic
4. Logical-mathematical
5. Bodily-kinesthetic
6. Interpersonal
7. Intrapersonal

More recently, he proposed a few more intelligences:

• Naturalistic: people who are "nature smart"; they have the ability (and like) to recognize, understand and know about nature and natural phenomena. Their awareness and sensory perception of their natural surroundings is higher than that of others.
• Existential
• Moral
