Being Smart in a Diverse World

Carol Westby

Albuquerque, New Mexico, mocha{at}unm.edu

This article reviews the concept of intelligence from different cultural perspectives and explains why the traditional approach to determining "who is smart" is inappropriate for students from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds and inadequate even for determining if mainstream students will be successful in daily living. The concept of successful intelligence is described and related to the components of cultural intelligence that are essential for professionals to function effectively in a diverse world. Strategies for promoting cultural intelligence in students are suggested.

Key Words: cross-cultural • intelligence • assessment • testing
