from Part VI - Kinds of Intelligence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 December 2019
Cultural intelligence (CQ) refers to an individual’s capability to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity. Unlike many cultural competency models that are developed inductively, CQ offers a theoretically derived and comprehensive framework based on the theory of multiple loci of intelligence. CQ comprises four factors – metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral CQ. Since our review in 2011, there has been much theoretical and methodological advancement. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of research on CQ, with a focus on these recent developments. They include an expanded conceptualization of CQ with more granular subdimensions; a new performance-based measure of CQ to complement report-based assessments; and a broader nomological network at the individual, dyadic, team, and firm level of analyses. We conclude with ideas for future research, and suggest ways to leverage on emerging technologies to advance the conceptualization, measurement, and applications of CQ.
