The Cultural Intelligence Model

The Cultural Intelligence Model (CQ) is a framework that helps individuals understand and navigate different cultural contexts. It includes four key components: 1. **Cognitive CQ** - understanding cultural norms and practices. 2. **Physical CQ** - adapting one’s behavior and appearance in diverse cultural settings. 3. **Emotional CQ** - being aware of and managing feelings related to different cultures. 4. **Motivational CQ** - the drive to learn about and engage with other cultures. By developing these skills, individuals can communicate effectively and work well in multicultural environments, enhancing collaboration and reducing misunderstandings.
