CPQ- IMD

After taking the Cultural Perspective Questionnaire, the scores shown seem valid to me because most of all the orientations with the dimensions explain and describe somehow a little bit about my behavior. In regards to the scores of relationships among people I scored average compared to the group in the dimensions of collective and individual, I believe that our main responsibility is to and for ourselves and immediate family. The scores do seem valid to me because in life I do take decisions that will definitely benefit first my family and myself, as well as to a larger extended group people. I also realized that some of my scores were very close to the scores of my country of birth. It is probably a cultural way of thinking about different aspects of life. For example, the orientation of time of the sub dimensions of past, present, and future I scored high in future, and is because I do believe that business and day-to-day decisions should be based on long term future needs and factors, but at the same time focus on the present because it is important to always do the best. I scored low on the past because I believe that decisions should not be based on precedent or past. I think is good to learn from past experiences but not to make decisions based on the past because life changes fast and the present and future are different scenarios. I can say this scores relate and are very similar to values and beliefs that my culture has taught me. It is very interesting to take questionnaires like the CPQ because they can tell us individually our perspective on certain orientations and teach us a little bit about ourselves.
