Abstract:

We investigate the relationships between risk orientation, need for control and openness, on the one
hand, and cultural intelligence on the other hand. Theory suggests positive relationships. Using survey
data from the United States and France, we do find those positive relationships. Our study is the first we
know of to test the link between risk orientation and cultural intelligence; it is only the second study of
which we are aware to test the link between need for control and cultural intelligence. Finally, we also
find our French respondents had a higher cultural intelligence than our American respondents, raising
interesting questions for future research.
