48. Read the paragraph carefully and choose the correct answer

People vary in their abilities to understand and influence other people. Success in interpersonal interaction is easy for some people and difficult for others. Some are diplomats while others are boors. The construct of such intelligence tries to capture the ways in which individuals differ from one another in their interpersonal skills. A similar idea about the existence of such a cluster of abilities has also arisen from a different source. As a prominent psychologist interested in educational implications of individual differences, devised a theory of "multiple intelligence" which has become influential in the field of education. This theory claims that all human beings have at least seven different intelligences seven different ways of knowing about the world
and that people differ from one another in their relative strengths in each domain. These seven intelligences include knowing the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, bodily kinesthetic intelligence and understanding of self and others. Thus under this approach, each person is characterized by a profile of intelligences rather than by a single, global measure of intelligence, such as an IQ.

The intelligence which explains about the interpersonal interactions is called

(A)Practical intelligence


(B)Social intelligence


(C)Cognitive intelligence


(D)Emotional intelligence
