Lecture Notes

The third factor in cultural intelligence is motivational cultural intelligence, and that's simply how open you are and interested you are in experiencing other cultures and interacting with people from difference cultures. Some people don't want to be really. They are you know, they're comfortable with people they know, which they can predict how they behave and so on that they don't have this openness to experience people from different cultures, different food, you know, different languages, and so on. This is again something that you can't train. This is something that you can select for in employees, but you can't really train employees to have greater motivational cultural intelligence.
