Use the following information for the question(s) that follow.
Tony, a high school junior, has a somewhat difficult time in school compared to his peers, particularly with word problems in math and other areas that aren't tangible. In spite of high motivation, he still struggles, and new situations and problems "throw him" more than they do his classmates. In order to succeed, he needs a lot of practice, and his approach is somewhat more "mechanical" than that of his peers. He comments, "I need to be able to 'see it' to understand it. Some of these ideas are just too abstract for me. Who cares about what would have happened if the Crusades had been more successful for Christianity? I can get it though, if I get enough practice." When he gets frustrated, he retreats to his room where he plays his guitar; he has even done some of his own arrangements. Tony is very skilled at working with people, and some of his peers turn to him as an arbitrator when clashes occur in club and other organizational meetings.
Consider Tony's intelligence according to Gardner's Theory of Intelligence. Based on information in the case study and Gardner's work, which of the following statements is most valid?
◦ Tony would be described as low in intelligence according to each of Gardner's dimensions of intelligence.
◦ Tony would be described as high in intelligence according to each of Gardner's dimensions of intelligence.
◦ Tony would be described as high in intelligence for some of Gardner's dimensions and unintelligent for the rest of the dimensions.
◦ Tony would be described as low in intelligence for some dimensions, high in intelligence for others, and information is lacking for the rest of the dimensions.
