He believes that the highest manifestations of these intelligences are vision (mental), discipline (physical), passion (emotional), and conscience (spiritual).
He does not claim any original thought, but I believe he has put various earlier ideas together in a coherent model. He places conscience at the center of a circle of vision, discipline and passion, implying that conscience is the guiding force for the other three intelligences. Ultimately, Covey’s message is that our “unique and personal significance, or our voice” as individuals can be found at the nexus of our gifts or intelligences.
If you are a Covey fan, or if you are interested in exploring the concept further, pick up The 8th Habit by Stephen Covey.
