While there is no deficit of religious intelligence, there is a need for spiritual understanding. In essence, there is an intelligence that comprehends the divine-human connection with all of its privileges, promises, and responsibilities. This book is based upon this premise. Spiritual Intelligence is the ability to understand truths, facts, meanings, relationships, functions, and realities that are seen, unseen, heard and not heard. It is a privilege of the salvation experience that can be developed. While academic intelligence measures the ability to comprehend science, language, mathematics, and logical reasoning, it is not an adequate measurement of the capacity to understand information beyond the natural and sensory spheres. Spiritual Intelligence is an acquired sensitivity, awareness, and consciousness of the existence and integration of the divine-human connection.

A four-factor model of spiritual intelligence is proposed. Supportive evidence is reviewed for the capacities of critical existential thinking, personal meaning production, transcendental awareness, and conscious state expansion. Beginning with an over-inclusive 84-item Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI) in Study 1 (N = 619 undergraduates), a series of exploratory factor analyses led to a reduced 39-item scale. Study 2 (N = 305 undergraduates) involved a confirmatory factor analysis which resulted in the removal of additional scale items in order to obtain adequate model fit. The final version of the scale, the SISRI-24, displays excellent internal reliability and good fit to the proposed four-factor model of spiritual intelligence. Additional measures of meaning, metapersonal self-construal, mysticism, religiosity, emotional intelligence, IQ, and social desirability offer support for construct validity. According to both intelligence criteria and current psychometric standards, findings validate the proposed model and measure of spiritual intelligence. Suggestions for future studies are discussed.

According to the philosopher Danah Zohar (who coined the idea of spiritual intelligence), we live in a 'spiritually dumb' culture, alienated from each other, too busy to take time to reflect, and trying desperately to juggle the myriad pulls and pushes of life without cracking up. How can we find meaning from meaninglessness, hope from despair, reconciliation from alienation and wholeness from fragmentation? In this book, Brian Draper asks how ordinary people, whether religious or not, can nudge themselves (or be gently nudged) to live on a daily basis with increasing integrity, wholeness and well-being - to become more spiritually intelligent. The book is split into 4 main sections: 'awakening', 'seeing your world afresh', 'living the change' and 'passing it on'. The narrative style is contemplative, reflective and engaging.

At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with IQ. In the mid 1990's, Daniel Goleman popularised research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third 'Q', 'SQ' or Spiritual Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our lives.
But all too often the pressure to commit early and then stick to it can lead people
to ignore the wealth of paths that lie before them or, worse still, force them on to a
path that lacks both spiritual intelligence and heart. A person may be forced on ...
