The meaning of Spiritual Intelligence

According to Wikipedia and I quote "Spiritual intelligence is a term used to discern a suite or set of propensities comprising: perceptions, intuitions ,cognition, etc., related to spirituality and/or religiosity, especially spiritual capital.  It has been discredited by its detractors as pseudoscientific due to its employment in popular psychology and New Age Discourse. As the term and phenomenon of spirituality and the anthropological and sociological dimension of this human endeavour is challenging to define—a persistent incorrigible intangible—it poses a significant challenge for scientific methodology and analyses, which for veracity, requires categorical criteria to model, chart, and compare. In spite of both its popular currency and its protracted retraction, spiritual intelligence as an emergent viable construct within psychology, bolstered particularly by Transpersonal Psychlogy, is receiving considerable scholarship.

Howard Gardner, the originator of the theory of multiple intelligences chose not to include spiritual intelligence amongst his "intelligences" due to the challenge of codifying quantifiable scientific criteria. Instead, Gardner suggested an "existential intelligence" as viable. Gardner's peers have responded with research that charts existential thinking as fundamental to spirituality. Notwithstanding, Gardner established the scientific foundation within the discipline of education theory and its interdisciplinarity, that has yielded the emergence of spiritual intelligence discourse^". 

So in my own words I think that the meaning of spirituality is to be open minded to the awareness of the outside or inside realms of the conscious and unconscious mind. One must be connected with they self, the earth and the cosmos, the universe, and to others. One must see things in a different light. This isn't a scientific meaning that I have said her, this is just my opinion and what appears to be the opinion of others on what I have gotten from some of the research I have read from MANY different sources on the actual meaning of spirituality on the web.  I could go into detail but that is rather time consuming and not to mention that I did already put the meaning that I found on Wikipedia for you above.
