Random-effects meta-analysis of correlation coefficients from 27 included studies; the pooled spiritual intelligence–achievement correlation was "r = 0.36 (95% CI: 0.18–0.51)". The article reports the correlation as positive and significant (p < 0.001).

"The correlation coefficients between spiritual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and student achievement were r = 0.36 (95% CI: 0.18–0.51) and r = 0.50 (95% CI: 0.28–0.67), respectively."

• Emotional intelligence is positively correlated with student achievement (pooled r = 0.50) — related
• No significant differences between high school and university students in spiritual intelligence, emotional intelligence, or achievement means — related
• Pooled mean scores: achievement 15.91, spiritual intelligence 138.27, emotional intelligence 128.94 — related
• The spiritual intelligence–achievement correlation is lower in high school students than in university students — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
