3Q Institute

The 3Q Institute is at the forefront of secular education and training in spiritual intelligence. As the intelligence of the true self beyond the ego, spiritual intelligence has many benefits that exceed the scope of intellectual and emotional intelligence. The online Courses offered by the 3Q Institute provide expert guidance on how to apply spiritual intelligence personally and professionally in daily life.

Dimensions of Intelligence

At the beginning of the scientific study of intelligence in the early 20th century, the definition of intelligence was restricted to intellectual intelligence (IQ). This narrow definition of intelligence prevailed until the mid 1980’s, when emotional intelligence (EQ) was identified as another dimension of intelligence of great importance. Recent advances in psychology and neuroscience identified spiritual intelligence (SQ) as a further dimension of intelligence that is even more significant. SQ represents strategic intelligence which directs the tactical intelligence of IQ and EQ by exercising the qualities and capabilities of the soul in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace.

3Q Training

As a powerful combination of three principal dimensions of intelligence, 3Q represents IQ and EQ in association with SQ. Studies in neuroscience reveal that the experience of spiritual intelligence is correlated with hemispheric synchronisation and whole brain activation [ref]. Consequently, coaching in 3Q trains the whole brain. The resulting whole-brain coherence optimises brain function and replaces the ego with the soul by shifting identification from the object-pole to the subject-pole of attention via the SQ portal, which results in greater fulfilment, increased creativity, sharpened intuition, more empathy and compassion, and improved performance on a wide range of work skills and life skills For information about the 3Q Training Course, click here
