Examples of Cultural Intelligence in the following topics:
-
- Cultural intelligence is the ability to display intercultural competence within a given group through adaptability and knowledge.
- The concept of cultural intelligence is exactly what it sounds like—the ability to display intercultural competence within a given group through adaptability and knowledge.
- The components of cultural intelligence, from a general perspective, can be described in terms of linguistics, culture (religion, holidays, social norms, etc.), and geography (or ethnicity).
- As a result, individuals interested in developing their cultural quotient (CQ) are tasked with studying each of these facets of cultural intelligence in order to accurately recognize the beliefs, values, and behaviors of the culture in which they are immersed.
- An interesting perspective on cultural intelligence is well represented in the intercultural-competence diagram, which highlights the way that each segment of cultural knowledge can create synergy when applied to the whole of cultural intelligence, where overlapping generates the highest potential CQ.
-
- Strong global management skills, intercultural competence, and a sensitivity to cultural issues are necessities for global managers.
- Global management skills are largely based in developing cultural intelligence, or a high cultural quotient (CQ), which delineates an individual's general understanding and adaptability of foreign cultures.
- This is best achieved through understanding what constitutes a high level of intercultural competence and leveraging this confidence to achieve the desire results in global management (see Boundless's "Cultural Intelligence" section).
- Once managers attain the appropriate levels of cultural intelligence, it becomes necessary to apply this to the corporate framework.
- With lower standards of livings in certain regions, as well as differences in capitalistic philosophies and legalities, sensitivity to cultural differences is absolutely crucial in sidestepping the pitfalls of merging cultures that contradict one another.
-
- Psychometricians have sought to make intelligence tests more culture fair and valid over the years, and to make sure that they measure g, or the "general intelligence factor" thought to underly all intelligence.
- Additionally, IQ cannot be said to describe or measure all possible cultural representations of intelligence.
- Various cultures value different types of mental abilities based on their cultural history, and the IQ test is a highly westernized construct.
- IQ tests are often criticized for being culturally biased.
- Other recent studies have questioned the culture-fairness of IQ tests when used in South Africa.
-
- Intelligence testing has evolved over time as researchers continually seek the best method for measuring intelligence.
- Our concept of intelligence has evolved over time, and intelligence tests have evolved along with it.
- Cattell created the Culture-Fair Intelligence Test.
- He further argued that g should be free of cultural bias such as differences in language and education type.
- Another supposedly culture-fair test is Raven's Progressive Matrices, developed by John C.
-
- Some researchers have raised more serious questions about the validity of IQ tests for measuring intelligence, especially across cultures.
- For example, IQ tests may be inappropriate for measuring intelligence in non-industrialized communities, because they focus on modern, rational-style thinking, a type of reasoning that is common in the modern industrial West but may be alien to other cultures.
- Intelligence is commonly measured using intelligence quotient (IQ) tests, which are meant to be a general measure of intelligence.

- Originally, the theory accounted for seven separate intelligences.
- Subsequently, with the publishing of Gardner's Intelligence Reframed in 1999, two more intelligences were added to the list.
- According to Gardner's theory, an intelligence encompasses the ability to create and solve problems, create products or provide services that are valued within a culture or society.
- Originally, the theory accounted for seven separate intelligences.
- Subsequently, with the publishing of Gardner's Intelligence Reframed in 1999, two more intelligences were added to the list.
-
- Psychologists agree that intelligence differs among populations but disagree as to why this phenomenon exists.
- The variance of intelligence scores among individual human beings can be extrapolated to larger population differences in general intelligence and mental capacity.
- There is also the question as to whether every sample taken in the United States is representative of the whole variance of cultural norms within a given group.
- Once again, none of these factors determines intelligence alone.
- Instead, all of them work simultaneously to help determine a group's intelligence.
-
- Aptitude tests, which, like achievement tests, measure what students have learned; however rather than focusing on specific subject matter learned in school, the test items focus on verbal, quantitative, problem solving abilities that are learned in school or in the general culture.
- Some standardized tests are designed specifically to assess human intelligence.
- For example, the commonly used Stanford-Binet IQ test, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) are all standardized tests designed to test intelligence.
- However, these tests differ in how they define intelligence and what they claim to measure.
- The Stanford-Binet test aims to measure g-factor, or "general intelligence."
-
- Over the last century or so, intelligence has been defined in many different ways.
- The current American Psychological Association definition of intelligence involves a three-level hierarchy of intelligence factors, with g at its apex.
- Cattell proposed two types of intelligence rather than a single general intelligence.
- In 1983, Howard Gardner published a book on multiple intelligence that breaks intelligence down into at least eight different modalities: logical, linguistic, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences.
- A few years later, Robert Sternberg proposed the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, which proposes three fundamental types of cognitive ability: analytic intelligence, creative intelligence, and practical intelligence.
-
- IQ tests are used to measure human intelligence quotient as measured against an age-based average intelligence score.
- IQ tests attempt to measure and provide an intelligence quotient, which is a score derived from a standardized test designed to access human intelligence.
- Over time, these scores have come to be associated with differences in other variables such as behavior, performance, and well-being; these vary based on cultural norms.
- The most commonly used test series is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and its counterpart, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC).
- While all of these tests measure intelligence, not all of them label their standard scores as IQ scores.
