According to the National Institutes of Health: Moral intelligence (MI) "can be referred to as human's capacity to distinguish right from wrong and to apply moral principles to humans' intentions, goals, beliefs, values, and actions."[1]

Howard Gardner, the noted intelligence expert who developed the multiple intelligence methodology of measuring intelligence suggested that moral intelligence may merit being included in his multiple intelligence model.[2]

Keld Jensen wrote in Forbes magazine that moral intelligence directly follows emotional intelligence as it deals with "integrity, responsibility, sympathy, and forgiveness. The way you treat yourself is the way other people will treat you. Keeping commitments, maintaining your integrity, and being honest are crucial to moral intelligence."[3] See also: Morality and Empathy
