The population in this study were MTsS Babun Najah students, a total of 307 people. The Proportionate Stratified Random Sample was used, and obtained a sample of 75 students. The data analysis technique used is correlation analysis and data collection using a Likert Scale Model. The research result showed a relationship between spiritual Intelligence and achievement motivation, meaning that the hypothesis that the researcher proposes is accepted. The correlation analysis showed that spiritual Intelligence with achievement motivation has a positive relationship or correlation with a Pearson Correlation value of 0,640 and a signification value of 0.000, meaning the higher spiritual Intelligence possessed by a person, the higher achievement motivation. Conversely, the lower the spiritual intelligence, the lower the achievement motivation.
