So here are 10 Signs of Spiritual Intelligence in a person

They know themselves at a deep level and have a solid understanding of their emotions and how they respond or react to things. Self awareness could be considered the first step to creating spiritual intelligence. 
2. They are motivated by principles and values and can stand by their decisions and word. The have a sense of understanding and responsibility to themselves and the world around them. They do the right thing and are able to stand by their principles. It can be classified as dharma, which is doing the right thing at the right time. Even if its hard.
3. They can transform adversity or challenges into a growth process. They will always reflect back to what can they take from this experience. Even if its painful they will find purpose and meaning within the experience, if it applies. 
4. They take a holistic approach to how they handle life's challenges and look at things from all angles. They don't just dive in, but use discernment in how they approach and handle things. They look at the potentials, the possibilities and the even hazards they could encounter. They look at it from emotional levels and spiritual levels to see the higher perspective within it. 
5. They are diverse and they see the diversity in others. They appreciate others and the paths they walk, recognizing there is oneness by been open to being part of something bigger. They are we focused rather than me focused. But equally are comfortable in doing things by themselves.
6. They are independent. They don't need others and cease being a sheep. They don't follow the crowd and they do what's best for themselves. They think for themselves and choose their path based on their own values.
7. They learn to ask why! Why are they doing something? Does it have meaning and value? What is the motivation and drive for my choices. There is a deep connection to living from a state of real soul depth and they also learn valuable insights by asking other questions like, what's my outcome here?
