Summary/Abstract: The roots of human intelligence lie in our genetic code and in the entire evolutionary history of life on this planet. It is influenced by our daily experience, our physical and mental health, diet, amount of physical exercise, the type of relationship that we form and many other factors. However, neurologically speaking, everything concerning intelligence is forwarded or controlled by the brain and its nerve endings in the body. One type of neural organization allows us to deal with rational, logically related thinking. It gives us our IQ. Nevertheless, the other type gives us emotional opinion which is associative, linked by habit and based on pattern recognition. It gives us our EQ. The third kind provides us with the opportunity to deal with the creative, insight, rule-making opinion, and that is the opinion through which we re-frame and transform our previous thoughts. The aim of this paper is theoretical consideration of spiritual intelligence, its development, encouragement and testing.
