Phase II was about the testing of cultural intelligence scale for larger audiences in Ukraine using the translated scale from Phase I for 300 students. Phase III – The implementation of the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) to approximately 1800 individuals throughout the country. Instrument was translated into Ukrainian and Russian; validity testing was conducted during pilot phase, country-wide CQ of Ukrainians was measured. The research findings made a considerable contribution to the understanding of cultural intelligence in non-American settings.
