In developing the seven multiple intelligences, Gardner made some important observations. Identify such observations from the list given below:
Gardner observed that intelligence is not entirely genetic, is not fixed at birth, and can be nurtured and grown, giving statements 1, 3 and 5.
Statement 1 holds because Gardner rejected the view that intelligence is wholly inherited.
Statement 3 fits since he denied that intelligence is settled at birth, leaving room for change.
Statement 5 is right because he stressed that intelligence can be developed through nurture and experience.
Statement 2 overstates the case by calling intelligence simply acquired behaviour, while statement 4 flatly contradicts his optimism about developing it.
Gardner presented these ideas in his 1983 work Frames of Mind, proposing multiple intelligences against a single IQ.
