The information below outlines the pre-work you are required to complete prior to attending the event.
Click Each Section to learn more.
Assessment
Prior to this event, you will need to complete the CQ Military Survey. Please click on the button below to begin taking the assessment:
You must complete the assessment by EOD 1 October in order for you to receive your full feedback report at the training session. The assessment will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
eLearning
Once you have completed the CQ Military Survey, the Portal will grant you access to complete MyCQ. This eLearning will debrief your assessment feedback report, as well as provide an overview of cultural values and cultural intelligence.
It is essential that you take the assessment and complete the eLearning prior to the CQ Certification & Train-the-Trainer. Doing so will enrich the group discussion and allow us to focus on application.
The eLearning is broken into modules so that you can work on it at your own pace. Please allow 2 hours total for completing MyCQ.
Pre-Reading
Please take some time to read through this brief on CQ and security forces. This brief examines the application of CQ to defense work to date, as well as connects it to Dr. Louise Rasmussen’s Adaptive Readiness for Culture (ARC) Model. You can read the brief here:
Please also read this SHRM and The Economist Unit published report on cultural intelligence for HR professionals. The report reviews the research on CQ, compares several intercultural assessments, and provides practical ways to use CQ in learning and development programs. You will find the report here:
In addition, please take a minute to watch the following video from us:
Why didn’t I receive a copy of my results?
You will receive a printed copy of your feedback report at the face-to-face training. Access to your completed report will not be granted prior to this time.
I forgot my password.
Please go to https://cqcenter.com/users/sign_in and click the “forgot password” link.
I took the assessment but realized afterward that I accidentally answered opposite of what I meant to (i.e., completely agree instead of completely disagree). Is there a way I can go back and change my answers or retake the assessment?
You may reset your assessment responses at any time while taking the assessment, up until it has been submitted. If you make this realization after submitting your assessment, please email admin@culturalq.com.
