There was no relationship between demographic characteristics (ل, education level, age, job experience and marital status) with the spiritual intelligence. The relationship between field of study and spiritual intelligence was significant As the results showed no significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and demographic characteristics of the librarians, it seems that, spiritual intelligence have relation whit other factors rather than demographic characteristics.
