Deep Change Spiritual Intelligence Assessment

Come on, you're curious… right?

You're sloshing through the spiritual forest.

It's a weird and wonderful journey. Some days you uncover beautiful meadows of bliss; other days, a dark rain keeps you hermiting in your tent.

Thankfully, you packed well.

Your knapsack brims with books of your favorite spiritual teachings, a Swiss army knife of practice techniques, and a canteen of loving kindness. You even have a cool map called Integral Theory, thanks to all the sages, saints, and everyday seekers who've gone before you.

But... where are you, exactly? How far have you come, and where should you turn next?

It's like GPS for your spiritual journey.

What if you had a tool that could pinpoint where you are in your unique personal development journey? What if it could not only track the progress you've already made, but could also suggest your next best steps to becoming more aware, awake, and happy? Would that be helpful?

Too good to be true? Actually, it builds on established developmental assessment models. And it's here.

First, there was cognitive intelligence (IQ). Remember those long, strange tests, and those hushed conversations in the hallway if a schoolmate scored in the "genius" range? While cognitive intelligence is crucial, researchers now agree that it's just part of the picture of human intelligence—and often not even the best one for predicting career success or personal happiness.

Some 20 years ago, Daniel Goleman's concept of "Emotional Intelligence" (EQ) revolutionized our ideas about smarts and how we show up in the world. The idea that how we manage our emotions and get along with others is a distinct, measurable, capacity that can be improved is powerful—and it quickly rippled through business and personal development circles.

After a decorated academic career, Cindy found herself struggling in the corporate world, over-developed in IQ and under-developed in EQ. So she put her intellect to work in service of emotional growth. She identified EQ skills she lacked, and dedicated herself to practicing and cultivating them. Her career blossomed and her personal life as a parent was enriched, all thanks to her deepened emotional awareness and skills.

But still, Cindy wondered: where did "spirit" fit in her path? She deeply felt her commitment to loving self, family, and the world at large—yet she wasn't entirely clear on how fully she actually embodied these cherished values. Building on her work in emotional intelligence, Cindy theorized that if there was a thing as spiritual intelligence (SQ), it would contain skills she could learn and practice, just like anything else. She dedicated herself to testing this audacious theory.

The result of Cindy's work and personal exploration is the Deep Change Spiritual Intelligence Assessment. It's already found great success in high-level organizations, and now we're excited to share this valuable tool with the Integral Life community.

Hi, I'm David Riordan from Integral Life. I've known Cindy and her involvement with the Integral Institute for years. Like so many of us, she's had real ah-ha moments thanks to Ken Wilber's work. I first discovered her in an interview with Jeff Salzman where she elaborated on how deeply the Integral framework had influenced the development of the SQ assessment. I was intrigued. What could an Integrally-informed tool tell me about myself?

But... a test!

I was slightly terrified. Just how accurate was this thing? And what if I wasn't as spiritually intelligent as I thought? I quickly learned...

• The SQi assessment isn't a test you can ace or fail. It's a tool, a "reflective process" meant to provide guidance on what your next steps could be.
• High scores aren't the point. After all, the journey is far more important than the destination, right? The SQ assessment simply suggests which of the 21 distinct spiritual skills you might want to work on next.
• This isn't a fluff, pop-magazine survey. It's been rigorously tested and has the Integral seal of approval. It also aligns with Susanne Cook-Greuter's groundbreaking developmental work with a 99% probability rating.

So I took the plunge. I did the assessment—and was blown away by how much I learned about myself. Here was a clear reflection of my progress, my strengths, and my blindspots. I was so impressed, I knew I had to share this valuable tool with the Integral Life community.

Curious? Watch the video below where Cindy and I talk about:

• A simple definition of spiritual intelligence—and why it's measurable.
• What drove Cindy to develop the SQ assessment, and why it's been so significant for her personally.
• What IQ and emotional intelligence (EQ) leave out when you're deciding what steps to take next in your personal growth.
• How Cindy distilled spiritual truths into a concrete list of 21 specific skills that you can learn and practice.
• How the assessment provides not just the "what" of spiritual growth, but also the "how"—individualized recommendations for specific next steps in your journey.
• Why it's so important to get an objective reflection of your progress (hint: spirituality isn't just about interiors!)

"There are numerous ways to define 'spiritual intelligence,' and thus numerous ways of assessing it. Cindy Wigglesworth has devised one such assessment which is an excellent overview of the process of general spiritual intelligence itself, including developmental variables—and thus one I can highly recommend!" - Ken Wilber

 

"The Deep Change SQi assessment has been rigorously tested to create maximum clarity for clients. It correlates highly with the ego development theory. Cindy's approach to coaching with the SQi is an example of best practice for how to use assessment results with clients. Coaches explore with the clients their specific spiritual inner landscapes. Coaches help them discover constricting, outdated beliefs and create openings for expanded perspectives and more soul-full possibilities to enact spirit in the world." - Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter

 

"Spiritual intelligence is your ability to bring embodied insight of your true nature to your life, relationships and career. I work with CEOs all over the world and I see firsthand how a difference between realizing one's dreams and feeling unfulfilled is the degree of spiritual intelligence leaders embody in their lives. Cindy has assembled a very special program that is used by leading organizations and we're very lucky to be able now to offer this to our entire integral community. If it's right for you, invest in this magnificent foundation, listen quietly to what is being said, and then let it rip through you and out into the world." - Robb Smith CEO, Integral Institute
