RISE WITH BETTY The Cultural Fluency Profile

Questions about this profile

What is the Cultural Fluency Profile?

A free reflective profile by Dr Betty Eziakor, built on the RISE Cultural Fluency Model. It scores three layers, cultural competence (trusted), cultural intelligence (effective) and the Culture Map (accurate), and shows which layer you lead with and which to build next.

Is this the same as a CQ test?

No. Cultural intelligence has its own validated instrument, the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS), and cultural competence has others, such as the IAPCC. This profile draws on all three bodies of research to help you reflect. It doesn't replace or reproduce those instruments.

What are the eight scales of the Culture Map?

Erin Meyer's eight scales are communicating, evaluating, persuading, leading, deciding, trusting, disagreeing and scheduling. The profile includes one everyday workplace situation for each.

Do I need to work internationally to use it?

No. Culture works at every scale: between headquarters and a market, between generations, between functions such as sales and finance, and when you join a new organisation or move up a level. The same three layers apply.
