Cultural intelligence is one's ability to adapt when confronted with problems arising in interactions with people or artifacts of diverse cultures. In this study, we conduct an initial construct-validation and assessment of a maximum-performance test of cultural intelligence. We assess the psychometric properties of the test and also correlate the test with other measures with which it might be expected there would be some connection. We found that our test was internally consistent and correlated significantly with maximum-performance tests of abilities but generally less or not at all with typical-performance tests, including cultural intelligence and openness to experience. However, our test appears to be distinct in what it measures from the other tests of cognitive abilities. The results lead us to suggest that cultural intelligence may have both maximum-performance and typical-performance aspects.
文化智力是指一个人在面对与不同文化的人或事物互动中出现的问题时进行适应的能力。在本研究中,我们对文化智力的一项最高绩效测试进行了初步的结构验证和评估。我们评估了该测试的心理测量特性,并将其与预期可能存在某种关联的其他测量方法进行了相关性分析。我们发现,我们的测试在内部是一致的,并且与能力的最高绩效测试显著相关,但与典型绩效测试(包括文化智力和经验开放性)的相关性通常较低或根本没有相关性。然而,我们的测试在其所测量的内容上似乎与其他认知能力测试不同。这些结果使我们认为,文化智力可能同时具有最高绩效和典型绩效两个方面。
