SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE – BASIC ASSESSMENT

Welcome to your SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE - BASIC ASSESSMENT

On the following few pages you are about to complete the Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire (SIQ) developed and validated by Amram & Dryer (© Amram & Dryer 2008). The SIQ scale has been used in hundreds of academic research studies and translated into more than a dozen languages. And along with a related assessment the Inspired Leadership Questionnaire (ILQ) has also been applied in numerous organizational and business settings with hundreds of leaders. For further information about the SIQ and ILQ please see https://intelligensi.com/spiritual-intelligence and https://intelligensi.com/inspirational-leadership.

On the following few pages please score all the items rating your self on the scale from "Never or almost never" to "Always or almost always" based on the general frequency of your actual behavior over the last 6 to 12 months. Do not leave any items unmarked. If you are not sure what a particular statement means or how to answer it simply use your intuition and answer based on your best guess.

Remember there are no right or wrong answers and all the results are private and confidential. The only way to get meaningful feedback is to answer the questions as accurately as you can based on your own actual behavior patterns.
