Cultural Intelligence Self-Assessment
1 / 9
The Cambridge Consultancy Group · Cultural Clarity

How intelligently does your leadership team work with culture?

Most leadership teams in the Gulf are culturally exposed. Far fewer are culturally intelligent. This self-assessment maps how your team reads, bridges and mobilises cultural difference, and where the next stage of growth lies.

Grounded in the research literature on cultural intelligence (metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioural) and in two decades of leadership work across the Middle East and Europe. There are no trick questions, but there are questions designed to separate what your organisation espouses from what it has actually embedded. Answer candidly; the value of your report depends on it.

Section 1 of 7 · Context

You and your organisation

This calibrates your report: the same score means something different in a two-culture firm of forty and a sixty-nationality group of four thousand.

Please complete every field (your name, a valid email, and each dropdown) so your report can be prepared and calibrated properly.

Section 2 of 7 · Read · قراءة

How your team perceives culture

Rate each statement for your leadership team as it actually operates today. 1 = not at all true of us · 6 = consistently true of us.

Please rate all six statements before continuing.

Section 3 of 7 · Bridge · جسر

How your team connects across difference

Same scale: 1 = not at all true of us · 6 = consistently true of us. Answer from evidence, not intention.

Please rate all six statements before continuing.

Section 4 of 7 · Mobilise · تفعيل

How your team turns culture into advantage

The rarest capability of the three. 1 = not at all true of us · 6 = consistently true of us.

Please rate all six statements before continuing.

Section 5 of 7 · In practice

Three moments, honestly answered

For each situation, choose the response closest to what your leadership team would most likely actually do, not the answer you suspect is “correct”. The gap between instinct and intention is one of the most revealing findings in your report.

Please choose one response for each of the three situations.

Section 6 of 7 · Embedded reality

Systems, not sentiments

Which of the following are genuinely embedded in your organisation: happening reliably, with ownership and evidence, not aspirationally? Select all that honestly apply. Selecting few is common and useful; it locates your starting point precisely.

Move each slider. The distance between these two numbers is itself a finding.

How culturally intelligent does your leadership team believe it is?

Signals & priorities

Your report is built as much from what you describe as from what you score. Two or three candid sentences here materially sharpen the analysis.

Choose exactly three.

Please describe one moment in the first box, and choose exactly three priorities.
