The cultural intelligence assessment, CQ

 Take the cultural intelligence assessment

What does that tell you about yourself?

I must say that I run into some confusing situations while answering some of these questions. That makes me think more than 5 seconds to answer those questions which incompatible with the rule of the assessment that is "Do Not think too long about any question." So, honestly, some of these questions are answered by rethinks or even imaginations about what should I do in that situation. Therefore, I don't know whether my answers are influenced by my rethinks or imaginations.

However, after I sum up my CQ scores and got my overall cultural intelligence, I found that I am not surprised with the result. I got 51 in CST which is an excellent score that reflects my cultural strategic thinking. When I went back to review those CST questions, I found they are about how smooth you can adapt to changing cultures. I think the reason why I can such a high score is that I respect different cultures and always trying plan ahead.

I got 27 scores in cultural motivation, which indicated a red alert(below 37). That means although I can respect different cultures and plan ahead, I still need to be more active instead of passive. I think it is true since I am not really active in learning about new cultures.

I got 33 scores in cultural behavior which means I am excellent in cultural behavior. I think it is also connected to my habits of respect and plan ahead since it reflects the ability to learn and prepare for any possible cultural diversity.

What does that tell you about the differences between your culture and others?

I think it also makes cultural diversity to become much easier to compare. For instance, I get 51 in CST which is an excellent score that reflects my cultural strategic thinking. But people from different cultures may get pretty low scores in this section which means they think pretty differently compare to my opinion or my feelings. Therefore, I should mind the differences and trying to get both sides as winners. I must adjust my thinking to satisfy each different needs if I want to sell the same product to different countries or fill the needs of different cultures.
