Suppose you meet a person for the first time who comes from a distant country but is fluent in your language.Would you adapt the tone of your voice，or the spacing of pauses in your speech？Would you adjust your body language and facial expressions，depending on the background of the person in front of you？
   These are just a handful of the shifts in behavior that can contribute to what is known as your "cultural intelligence"，or CQ. "The number one predictor of your success in today's borderless world is not your IQ，or not even your expertise （專長(zhǎng)）， " writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. "It's your CQ. "
   Typically CQ is measured through a series of questions that assess four distinct components.The first is "CQ Drive"-the motivation to learn about other cultures.Then there is "CQ Knowledge"，which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences you may face. "CQ Strategy" examines how you make sense of those difficult conflicts and learn from them，while "CQ Action" involves your behavioral flexibility-whether you are able to adapt your conduct like a cultural chameleon.
   "While understanding a specific culture can be useful，it may not predict at all your ability to engage effectively in a new place，" says Livermore. "In fact，our research finds that individuals who have lived in multiple locations for extended time are more likely to have higher CQ Knowledge than those who have lived multiple decades in one overseas setting. "
   Someone with low CQ might have a tendency to judge everyone else's behavior by his own cultural standards.If he comes from a more sociable environment，for instance，and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting，he may assume that they are being unfriendly or bored.A person at the top of the scale，meanwhile，might realize that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback won't be given unless it is explicitly required.As a result，he'll make sure to offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions.
