The relationship between spiritual intelligence and personal traits in Czech practicing Catholics

Original language description

The aim of this research is to explore the relationships between spiritual intelligence and personality dimensions of Big Five. The King´s concept of spiritual intelligence consists of four dimensions: CET Critical existential thinking, PMP Personal meaning production, TA Transcendental awareness, and CSE Conscious state expansion. The sample consisted of 65 Czech practicing Catholics (52% males, 48% females, aged 22 to 72 years). The difference between practicing Catholics and comparison group of people without strong membership in any religious group (N = 33, 52% males, 48% females, aged 18 to 52 years) in spiritual intelligence and personal traits were compared. The spiritual intelligence was measured by King´s SISRI-24 scale, and personal traits were measured by NEO-PI-III scale. The results of analysis have shown that practicing Catholics scored higher on the scale agreeableness (p = .01) and in dimensions PMP (p = .03) and TA (p = .01) than the comparison group. The strongest statistically significant correlation at p &lt; 0.01was found between agreeableness and PMP (r = 0.38) and between subscale altruism and PMP (r = 0.48) by practicing Catholics. The linear regression analysis revealed that agreeableness was a significant predictor of overall spiritual intelligence (beta = 0.30; p &lt; .05). Neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness predicted dimensions CET, PMP, and TA.
