The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between personality traits and subjective well-being in predicting spiritual intelligence in order to develop structural model. For this aim 220 students of the Amir Kabir University at the under graduate, master’s and doctoral degrees using systematic random sampling were selected. They completed Spiritual Intelligence Scale of King (2007), Keyes comprehensive scale of well-being (1998) and Big Five Factor personality Inventory (NEO-FFI). In order to assess the relationship between latent and measured variables in the conceptual model, the structural equation modeling was used. The results showed that high scores in the spiritual intelligence predicted through low scores in neuroticism and high scores in extraversion and conscientiousness. In this model, well-being was mediator, and neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness with the mediating mental wellbeing could predict the variance of spiritual intelligence, regression weights of direct effects were not significant but the weights of indirect and total effects were significant, and the predictor variables explained 25% variances of spiritual intelligence. The results of the present study emphasize the role of personality traits on well-being and spiritual intelligence.
