Abstract
In the previous chapter, we operationalized Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (1983, 1991, 1995, 1999) into the MIPQ VII. This basic version of the instrument contains the following seven intelligences: (1) Linguistic, (2) Logical-mathematical, (3) Musical, (4) Spatial, (5) Bodily-kinesthetic, (6) Interpersonal, and (7) Intrapersonal intelligence. In this chapter, we present an instrument to measure spiritual sensitivity and extend the Multiple Intelligences Profiling Questionnaire VII (MIPQ VII) to include the spiritualintelligence dimension (MIPQ VIII).
