Question

Collectivist cultures, such as Taiwan's, place a high priority on how individuals relate to each other. It might be reasonable to hypothesize that Taiwanese adults might outscore American adults on a test of Gardner's ________ intelligence.

Answer 1

Answer:

Interpersonal      

Explanation:

Howard Gardner was a psychologist who proposed a theory on intelligence.

According to him, intelligence shouldn't be measured as just an IQ number (as it was usually done) but he rather proposed that we have multiple intelligences and he proposed eight different types of intelligence that people can have.

One of the types of intelligence that Gardner proposed was the Interpersonal intelligence, this intelligence refers to the capacity of one person to understand other people's feelings, emotions and motivations. In other words, people with a high interpersonal intelligence are good at social relations and can understand and relate to other people.

In this example, Taiwan places a high priority on how individuals relate to each other, therefore, they are placing a priority on how they relate to each other and on understanding other people's feelings or emotions and the relationships between people. This is all part of the Interpersonal intelligence so it might be reasonable to hypothesize that Taiwanese adults might outscore American adults on a test of Gardner's Interpersonal intelligence.
