This study is about the 1983 Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (Gardner, 1983), in 2012 incorporates Spiritual Intelligence (SI or SQ) and demonstrates that it meets all the criteria that define each intelligence. The qualitative study of Spiritual Intelligence (IES) made it possible to determine its competences: consciousness, transcendence, love, forgiveness, freedom, pain-suffering, meaning, gratitude and effects. After such identification a 68 questions Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire (SIQ) was built and validated with Spanish population with a sample of 528 participants. Results show the reliability and content, construct and criteria validity. Unidimensionality of the questionnaire was tested as well as his prediction capacity. The conclusions are important at the intervention level because they allow the identification of key competencies to evaluate and develop SI through programs applied in different educational, social, and business environments..
