The Cultural Intelligence Scale

The Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) is a tool used to measure how well someone can understand and adapt to different cultural environments. It assesses four key areas: the ability to learn about new cultures (cognitive), the motivation to interact with people from other backgrounds (motivational), the skills to communicate effectively across cultures (behavioral), and the openness to new cultural experiences (metacognitive). Higher scores indicate better preparedness and adaptability in diverse settings, making it useful for organizations and individuals working internationally or in multicultural contexts.
