Discussion: View Thread

I just completed the CQ assessment. I've worked successfully as an expatriate in Latin America, China, Switzerland-F, Germany, and New Zealand, and worked as a visiting professor in India and Turkey. This instrument appears to be a measure of academics' beliefs as to politically correct cross-cultural attitudes rather than a useful measure of cross-cultural interaction competence. I'd never use it as an evaluation tool.

Dear colleagues,

 

Please forgive our cross postings.

 

Web Site for Assessing Cultural Intelligence  

August 2009 
 

Cultural intelligence refers to an individual's capability to function effectively across cultures – this can include national, ethnic, organizational as well as other types of culture (Ang & Van Dyne, 2008; Earley & Ang, 2003). 

In response to an increasing number of requests for CQ assessment tools, we have created a special website that will allow you to assess your own Cultural Intelligence and obtain an on-line personal feedback report.  This special web site will be available for the next 60 days as a follow-up to the Academy of Management meetings. 

Web site for assessing your own CQ (open to the public for 60 days following AOM)

In addition, we have other web sites that are available for additional purposes.
