Method of the present study was descriptive and correlational. Participants were 120 students of Bu-Ali Sina University, Hame-dan.

Multiple regression and Pear-son’s correlation methods were used to analyze the data. The results showed that in 3D-WS, the combination of components of spiritual intelli-gence and religious orientation explains 20 per-cent of wisdom’s total variance.
