I've seen these skills described as CQ (Cultural Intelligence), distinct from EQ or IQ. IMHO, it's the 3rd leg of the stool for effective intelligence in any non-solo endeavor.

A couple things:
A) People have vastly different (even abusive) forms of communications. What works for one group does not work for another. "Sensitivity training" does not account for this, in fact it causes issues.
B) EQ and CQ are made up terms, but more importantly they aren't realistic. IQ, also is somewhat made up, its used as a sort of "general intelligence" marker and it is that in the context of broad studies, not so much on the individual level. IQ has been long used to browbeat certain ethnic groups, these new "made up" terms are similar, in that people are using them to browbeat various groups, in attempt to put themselves on a higher "moral ground". Its disgusting, and insensitive nonsense. They don't exist, and we don't have the bandwidth to all just "conform". And no, thanks I don't take kindly to being brainwashed.
I hadn't heard those terms before, thanks. I'll check those out.
