What is CQ? Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) is a person's capability to function effectively in a variety of cultural contexts –
both internationally and domestically.
In our own cultures, we usually have an idea of what is going on around us because we have a wealth of
information, most of which subconscious, that helps us make sense of what we experience and observe.
When we interact with individuals who have a different cultural background, the same cues may mean
something entirely different.
CQ CAPABILITIES There are four primary CQ capabilities:

Research Basis of CQ THE RESEARCH BASIS FOR ASSESSING CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE Cultural Intelligence is conceptualized as a multi-dimensional construct based on application of Robert
Sternberg's integrative theoretical framework of different "loci" of intelligence. The dimensions of Cultural
Intelligence represent qualitatively different aspects of the overall capability to function and manage
effectively in culturally diverse settings.
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE IS … Cultural Intelligence is a malleable capability that can be enhanced by multicultural experiences, training and
self-awareness programs, travel and education.
Cultural Intelligence is distinct from stable individual differences such as personality, which describe
what a person typically does across time and across situations.
Cultural Intelligence is also different from emotional intelligence because it focuses specifically on
capabilities in multicultural contexts.
Cultural Intelligence has predictive validity over and above demographic characteristics, personality, general
mental ability, emotional intelligence, cross-cultural adaptability inventory, rhetorical sensitivity, cross-cultural
experience, and social desirability.
The Cultural Intelligence Scale has excellent psychometric properties.
Published scholarly research demonstrates the factor structure of the scale is stable across samples,
across time, and across cultures.
In addition, self-rated scores are positively correlated with observer rated scores, and multi-trait multi-
method analysis supports the convergent and discriminant validity of the scales.
Reliabilities of the four factors and subdimensions exceed the standard cut-off of .70.
Most important, research demonstrates that cultural intelligence predicts adjustment, well-being, cultural
judgment and decision-making, and task performance in culturally diverse settings.
