Angetal. (2007) operationalize CQ as a four-factor model that includes metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioral components. Based on Sternberg and Detterman’s (1986) framework of the multiple foci of intelligence, these four complementary dimensions allow for specific cultural related behaviors that are pertinent for coping in a new cultural setting. Metacognitive CQ reflects the mental capability to acquire and understand cultural knowledge. Cognitive CQ indicates general knowledge and knowledge structures about culture. These two components represent the elements of having the knowledge of different cultures and being aware of these differences. The next two CQ dimensions are mainly on the drive to exhibit appropriate behavioral aspects of knowing that cultural differences do exist and each intercultural related situation warrants a different response. Motivational CQ reflects individual capability to direct energy toward learning about and functioning in intercultural situations. Lastly, behavioral CQ reflects individual capability to exhibit appropriate verbal and nonverbal actions in culturally diverse interactions.
