If there is 'cognitive' mental retardation why not identify spiritual, moral and emotional retardation?

Because you can measure traditional intelligence, but the other problems are not measurable. We all know who those folks are, but there is no established way to test it. And there would be no point except to discriminate against those folks, unless there were treatment plans devised to deal with those problems.

good point - tho this is not an handicap on all frontires. Spiritual retarded can have a perfectly normal life, why mental retards can't. Further more its much harder to anylyse these retardations, so if they don't cause major everyday problems, why try to indentify these types of retardation?
Retard is the french for "late", metal retards are have a late developped brain, which may never develop fully, while those others aren't late in development, they are not present at all.

it definitely exists thats for sure, maybe because it is too hard to specifically define and diagnose?
