Scoring and Interpretation: After circling one number for each dimension, use a marker, pen, or pencil to connect the circles; this gives you a profile of cultural values. Do not be concerned if your line cuts through the names of the dimensions. Compare your profile to others in class. Should time allow, develop a class profile by computing the class average for each of the ten dimensions and then connecting the points. If the sample size is large enough, compare the cultural value profiles of Westerners and Easterners.

One possible link to leadership development is to hypothesize which type of profile would be the most responsive and which would be the least responsive to your leadership.
