Few examples of spirituality scales in the Indian population

Spirituality scales Descriptions
WHO Quality of Life–Spirituality, Religiousness, and Personal Beliefs (WHOQOL-SRPB) This module from the World Health Organization’s quality-of-life assessment includes questions related to spirituality and religiousness, and it can be used in conjunction with other well-being scales
Indian Mental Health Scale (IMHS) While not exclusively focused on spirituality, the IMHS assesses mental health and well-being in the Indian context, which often includes spiritual dimensions due to cultural interconnections
Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS)—Indian Adaptation The SWBS measures aspects of spiritual well-being, and an adaptation for the Indian context might include items that align with cultural and spiritual norms
Saraswathi or Spiritual Quotient Scale (SQS) This scale focuses on assessing spiritual intelligence and well-being, considering Indian cultural and philosophical foundations
