Abstract: This paper reviewed the articles about adolescence, its relation to spiritual intelligence and the related theories.The adolescence period is the best time to develop positive emotions and training skills, because adolescents areseeking to find their identity and their future personality at this period. Spiritual intelligence has a significantinfluence on the quality of life and it goes without saying that adolescence is a sensitive period which requiresspecific training to make a brighter future and be exposed to the difficulties. Spirituality can be viewed as a formof intelligence because it predicts functioning and adaptation and offers capabilities that enable people to solveproblems and attain goals. Conceiving spirituality as a sort of intelligence extends the psychologist’s conceptionof spirituality and allows its association with the rational cognitive processes like goal achievement and problemsolving. Emotional intelligence allows us to judge in which situation we are involved and then to behaveappropriately within it. Spiritual intelligence allows us to ask if we want to be in this particular situation in thefirst place.
