Multiple Intelligences •  Howard Gardner opened the door to discussion of “multiple intelligences” with his book Frames of Mind in 1983. He listed seven different types of intelligences in that book: –  Linguistic –  Logical-mathematical –  Musical –  Bodily-kinesthetic –  Spatial –  Interpersonal –  Intrapersonal

Think College Entrance Exams or – Classic “IQ”

Spiritual exemplars and “love one another”

•  The Golden Rule exists in all the major faith traditions and in most philosophies of life (treat others as you wish to be treated)

•  We want “Love.” But what is Love?

Compassion Wisdom

Love is a Bird with two wings…

So spiritual intelligence is acting with Love…


Our definition of Spiritual Intelligence

“Spiritual Intelligence is the ability to behave with Wisdom and Compassion while maintaining inner and outer Peace (Equanimity) regardless of the situation.”

It reflects an increasingly stable to connection to “something bigger than us” that is translating into the world of behaviors, habits and attitudes.


The Spiritual Intelligence Assessment (SQi)

•  Created 2000-2004 with expert guidance •  Takes spiritual exemplars and translates into

hypothesized 21 skills •  Assesses on scale of 0 to 5 •  Alpha pilot, beta pilot, construct validity, cross-

correlation •  Current database of 2000 records

Quad 1 Quad 2

Quad 3 Quad 4

SQ involves a Shift from Operating from Ego to Operating

from Higher Self


Ego self Higher Self

Shift from Ego to Higher Self •  Ego as described in spiritual literature

–  Self-interest is narrow, focused on “me” and “my goals” (low empathy, low wisdom)

–  Tendency to drama, negative thinking –  Equals earlier stages of development and less healthy

expressions of the stages

•  Higher Self –  Expanded sense of who I am, sees interconnections,

sees systems, sees context –  Wiser, calmer, transformational decisions possible



Quad 1 Skill 5: Awareness of Ego self / Higher Self

1 I have a basic understanding of that an ego self exists and that how it reacts to things is a result of my personal experiences since birth, including the influence of my family and my culture.

2 I can observe my own Ego in operation. I understand there is a difference between the desires of my Ego and of my Higher Self.

3 I can recognize the situations and types of people that trigger my Ego self to want to take charge. I recognize the signals my body gives me when my Ego has been triggered.

4 I can consistently hear the voice of my Higher Self. This may be a “felt sense” in the body, or an auditory or visual experience, or a combination. I may not hear it often, but I know it when I do. I am learning to listen to it. I understand how my thoughts and beliefs are creating the anger or fear I feel.

5 The voice of my Higher Self is now the principal voice I hear. Ego is now in joyful service to Spirit. I no longer feel a “tug of war” between these two parts of my self.

Complexity of Reasoning1

•  How many items do you take into account and how do you assemble them into a position?

•  What do you consider as evidence? •  Do you assess long-term effects? •  What steps do you follow when evaluating? •  What data do you use to support your stance? •  How do you deal with ambiguity?

My Conclusions •  Higher STAGES are crucial to respond to

the Life Conditions we face in the world •  Higher SQ is very highly correlated with

Higher STAGES •  We need PQ, IQ, EQ and SQ to move to

Higher STAGES •  SQ is a crucial skill set for world leaders

and evolved voters and citizens to develop
