Furthermore, to test the significance of the correlation, it was carried out using the statistical test formula (test "t") obtained at 3.41. This price is then consulted at a significance level of 95% ( µ= 0.05) with dk = n-2 (30 – 2 = 28) obtained at 1.69, because (3.41> 1.69) this shows a Relationship Between Spiritual Intelligence and Learning Interest of Class VIII Students of SMP NEGERI 2 MERANTI Academic Year 2022/2023.
