CQ and Faith-Based Contexts

Religious communities are faced with many opportunities and challenges due to our increasingly diverse world. How do faith-based communities remain true to their own convictions while simultaneously adjusting to and learning from those with different cultural systems and beliefs?

Enhance the multicultural understanding and effectiveness of your faith-based community by assessing member's cultural competencies with the only evidence-based assessment of cultural intelligence (CQ). Surveys include questions specifically designed to trigger reflection about religious issues and concerns in multicultural contexts.

We offer the following online assessments and personalized feedback for Faith-Based Programs. .

Faith-Based CQ Self-Assessment

This assessment is a self-inventory of the four CQ capabilities, and it also includes questions designed to trigger self-reflection specifically oriented toward faith-based experiences. Participants complete online surveys and receive a 12-page feedback report. Reports include scores for the four CQ capabilities, comparisons with the CQ worldwide norms, and reflection questions to guide interpretation of the feedback.

Feedback on Individual Cultural Value Orientations

We can add assessment and feedback on Individual Cultural Value Orientations to CQ Faith-Based Assessment Programs. Participants receive enhanced 14-page feedback reports with information on cultural intelligence as well as their personal preferences for seven individual cultural value orientations (e.g. individualism vs. collectivism, low vs. high context, etc.). Note: individual cultural value orientation feedback is automatically included in CQ Multi-Rater programs.

Before and After Assessments

Programs can be set up for a one-time stand-alone assessment or can include two assessments - such as before and after specific events or developmental experiences.

CQ Summary Reports

Facilitators and organizations can request CQ Summary Reports with aggregated results for a group of participants.

Summary reports include demographic characteristics of participants, comparison of participant scores with the CQ worldwide norms, distribution of participant scores (low-moderate-high), and interpretative observations and implications.

CQ Summary Reports for specialized programs also include information on the distribution of individual cultural value orientations, comparisons between sub-groups of participants, comparisons between self and observer ratings, and/or comparisons between T1 and T2 scores.
