Abstract
This chapter expands the understanding of subculture cultural intelligence by testing the psychometric properties of the Cultural Intelligence Scale, which will hopefully lead to a shift away from international culture focus and encourage a better understanding of intra-national subcultures. To avoid variations in results obtained from any scale, an examination of the measurement properties of the scale is needed. For this study, the sample consists of 243 African American graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who work at an organization in which they are part of a minority culture. The results of the factor analysis, factor loadings over .50 and no cross loadings, reflect a very strong underlying factor structure. The average variance extracted of 0.578 means that more variance is explained than error remaining in the latent construct and the Cronbach's alpha of .933 reflects strong reliability. Implications from this research as well as limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
