What is SYM-Q?

SYM-Q is a tool that measures your ability to interact successfully during intercultural situations in varied geographic locations or new cultural settings that are different from where you were born or raised.

SYM-Q is another type of intelligence. SYM-Q (Symbiotic Intelligence) shares the same framework as other types of intelligences:
 IQ = EQ = CQ = SYM-Q

SYM-Q also refers to the methods we teach to help you work better across cultures.

SYM-Q helps you to understand what it really means to live in a new culture. You'll learn methods that can help you "fit in" — methods that help you to be more relaxed and confident in the new culture.
