Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Howard Gardner proposes that people have eight relatively independent kinds of intelligence, including musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligence. Traditional IQ tests measure primarily logical-mathematical, verbal-linguistic, and visual-spatial intelligence, ignoring the other five types of intelligence. Therefore, the best choice is D, which states that people have eight types of intelligence and IQ tests measure only three of them.
