Cultural Intelligence Scale
The Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) is a 20-item measure assessing an individual's capability to function effectively in culturally diverse contexts and to adapt behavior appropriately across cultural settings. Developed by Christopher Earley and Soon Ang in the early 2000s, the CQS operationalizes cultural intelligence as a multidimensional competence involving cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and behavioral components. The measure has become standard in organizational psychology and international business research for evaluating cross-cultural effectiveness.
