Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is a globally recognized way of assessing and improving effectiveness in culturally diverse situations. It is rooted in rigorous academic research conducted by scholars worldwide. Leading organizations in business, education, government, and healthcare are adopting CQ as a key component of personnel development and competitive advantage.

CQ stems from the same body of research as emotional intelligence (EQ), which is the first step in improving the way you work and relate to others. However, CQ takes it a step further by enabling us to have social sensibilities when interacting with people who behave in unfamiliar ways. A culturally intelligent person who understands cognitive diversity can communicate and work more effectively with peers, colleagues, and customers from different cultural backgrounds.

CQ is an assessment created by the Cultural Intelligence Center to access the 4 factors and 13 sub-dimensions. Personalized feedback reports, comparing CQ scores with worldwide norms, help participants identify their growth opportunities. Reports are available in multiple languages, including English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Our Certified CQ Facilitators will provide debriefing in your customized growth programs.
