Cultural intelligence or cultural quotient (CQ) is a term introduced by London Business School professor P. Christopher Earley and Nanyang Business School professor Soon Ang in their textbook Cultural Intelligence: Individual Interactions Across Cultures,[1] which describes "a person's capability to adapt as she interacts with others from different cultural regions", and has behavioral, motivational, and metacognitive aspects.[2]


Four CQ capabilities

The authors describe four CQ capabilities: motivation (CQ Drive), cognition (CQ Knowledge), meta-cognition (CQ Strategy), and behavior (CQ Action).[citation needed] CQ Assessments report scores on all four capabilities as well as several sub-dimensions for each capability. The four capabilities stem from the intelligence-based approach to intercultural adjustment and performance.[3]
