Measure a student’s ability to work and engage effectively across cultures and then compare changes in scores over time.

The CQ Pre/Post Assessment (Study Abroad) measures an individual’s current intercultural capabilities, and their personal feedback report provides them the opportunity to develop and improve those skills. This assessment is specifically catered towards study abroad programs. Use this tool to measure an individual’s CQ capabilities with the Pre Assessment (before their study abroad experience). Then, they can take the Post Assessment after the experience to see how their scores have changed.

Learning Objectives:

• Discover their individual strengths and blind spots, including motivations, ability to adapt, CQ knowledge, and ability to strategize in culturally diverse situations.
• Discover their orientation on ten cultural values and their impact on how you live & work.
• Learn how their CQ has changed over time with the Pre/Post comparison.

Your Participants Will Receive:

An invitation to complete the assessment and lifetime access to their personal feedback reports.
