III. Read the case given below and answer the questions (3M)
This is a story of three students Ruby, Radhika and Shankar who were enrolled in an Undergraduate
Psychology Program in a University. Ruby was the admission officer’s dream. She was selected for
the program as she had perfect entrance test scores, outstanding grades and excellent letters of
recommendation. But when it was time for Ruby to start coming up with ideas of her own, she
disappointed her professors.
On the other hand, Radhika did not meet the admission officer’s expectations. She had good
grades but low entrance exam scores. However, her letters of recommendation described her as a
creative young woman. She could design and implement research work with minimal guidance at
college.
Shankar ranked somewhere in between the two students. He was satisfactory on almost every
traditional measure of success. But rather than falling somewhere in the middle of his class at college,
Shankar proved to be an outstanding student. His strength lay in the ability to not only adapt well to
the demands of his new environment but also to modify the environment to suit his needs.
1. Identify the theory of intelligence which best explains the intelligence of all the three students in the
story.
2. Out of the three students mentioned in the story, who are/is more likely to be a successful
entrepreneur?
