Which of the following intelligences is NOT part of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences?

Linguistic
Musical
Existential
Emotional

The correct answer is: Existential

In Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, existential intelligence refers to a sensitivity to deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, the nature of death, and the purpose of human experience. However, it is not officially recognized as one of the core intelligences in Gardner's model. The established intelligences include linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic, among others. Linguistic intelligence relates to the ability to use language effectively, while musical intelligence involves sensitivity to musical rhythm, tone, and sound. Emotional intelligence, although a significant concept in psychology, is often considered part of interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences, which revolve around understanding oneself and others emotionally. Thus, while the other options are either directly recognized as intelligences in Gardner's framework or closely related, existential intelligence is the one that stands apart as not formally included.
