An international research team out of Simon Fraser University has developed a thirty minute quiz to determine one’s cultural IQ. 

From the article:

The test can be used for a wide range of purposes, from determining who is best to lead a corporation’s overseas operations and which employees need cultural sensitivity training, to assessing the efficacy of individual peacekeepers, diplomats and even world leaders, the researchers said.

While the test was developed to mainly gauge people’s ability to effectively navegate cross-cultural interactions internationally, I wonder if it could be used as a tool to see where there are gaps in cultural sensitivity and knowledge in U.S.-based companies.  This might be a useful tool for these companies especially as the U.S. workforce becomes more culturally diverse.
