Hello! How can we help you today?
SQ is the fundamental intelligence that makes humans human. Developed by the Global SQ Research Institute, our program helps develop the right character, career guidance, and potential through SQ testing and improvement education.
SQ's theoretical background is based on Harvard's Howard Earl Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner advocates 8 types of multiple intelligence and notes there are additional forms of intelligence, including SQ.
Professor Robert Emmons (Ph.D.) from California State University made a significant contribution to SQ's theoretical foundation, building on Gardner's work. He argued that just as emotional intelligence is the ability to apply emotions in our lives, spiritual intelligence is the mental ability to apply and use the spirituality inherent in all people.
"SQ has been studied by various scientists, undergoes many academic discussions, and is recognized as a unique intelligence that distinguishes it from other objects belonging to humans."
