I would not recommend that the library purchase any more copies of this book. I read the lengthy introduction and the first two chapters, all of which were padding with no substantive information about how to evaluate or augment one's cultural intelligence or that of others. I was then directed to complete a Cultural Intelligence questionnaire on-line...except that some reader had already torn out the access code in the back of the book (the access code was single-use in any case). The fact that the author requires e-users and anyone other than the original readers of the book to pay to get access to the questionnaire puts the lie to his assertion that participants' responses will contribute to the store of knowledge regarding cultural intelligence. This is unlikely to be the case if the use of the test has been restricted to the narrow segment of the population willing to buy the book or buy the e-version, then pay separately to take the test.
