According to Munandir (2001:122) the spiritual quotient composed of two words, that is "intelligence" and "spiritual". the intelligence is ability of oneself to overcome any obstacles that are facing to, mainly, problems that demand of thinking capability. any limitations that put forward by experts are based on their own theory. moreover, Munandir said that the intelligence can be also defined as ability that related to abstractions, knowing something, take in hand/handle new conditions.  

while Mimi doe and Marsha Walch, propose that spiritual is base of self-respect grow, values, morality, and feeling possesive. the spiritual give us guidance and value to our live of believe to presence of virtual strength beyond our strength.

thus, based on meaning of that two words, spiritual intelligence can be means of ability of oneself to facing and overcome obstacles that related to value, inner, and psychic. this intelligence is mainly related to abstraction that beyond of our strength, that is a strength that moving both live and the universe

Tony Buzan says that spiritual intelligence is a kind of intelligence that correspond to a whole design to the big thing, that is include "look things based on holistic way". meanwhile, the spiritual intelligence according to Stephen R. covey, is center of the most bases among the others intelligence. this is because the spiritual intelligence become center of guidance to others intelligence. the spiritual intelligence as representative of longing to both meaning and relationship with the almighty  

Zohar and Marshal define that the spiritual intelligence as a kind od intelligence to facing and overcome problems of values, that is an intelligence to positioning behaviours and live in wider context, an intelligence to appraise that way of life is more valuable than others. Khalil A Khavari define that the intelligence spiritual can be put as immaterial dimensions of our body or in other meaning, it means "our spirit".  He argue that the intelligence is a kind of jewelry which has not been polished and it is possessed by every human being. we must knowing as it is, polish it in order to shining with determination, use it wisely, and to achieve the true happiness.

based on definitions above, we can conclude that definition of the spiritual intelligence is potential ability of every human being that make he/she can realize and determine of meaning, values, morals, and love to the strength beyond of their body and to other human beings. it is because of he/she think that he/she is part of all things. so, it will make the human beings put them self and be life more positively with wisely, peacefully, and truely happy
