I believe the natural tendency of humans who are interested in acquiring more knowledge is to align themselves towards spirituality. It's not only because science doesn't provide them answers for all questions but straight away dismisses some of the "weird theories" as baseless and impossible , while spirituality atleast gives them an opportunity to think that weird theory is possible. I read a book called "the problem of rebirth" by Aurobindo and he wonderfully lists why the scientific mind is tempted to learn about spirituality. I find (again its just me) science to be very restrictive, because it is formulated by our restrictive mind. I may be totally wrong - only time will tell. So in a way, i might be temped to say i not very surprised by the result you mentioned. Hi Warren,

One of them was using these cards, 24 in total each representing a character strength from the Values in Action strengths program. She said she had some trepidation about using this 'soft' technique in the hard cold world of business, and thought it might not be accepted well. But in the end, the card representing 'spirituality' was the one that people chose the most as reflecting themselves. I thought that was pretty interesting, not only because maybe businesses are opening up to new ideas but also how many people in business thought of themselves as being spiritual.
