First and foremost, please be informed that Culture Index is:

• A survey, not a test. There is no passing or failing.
• There is no such thing as a perfect result.
• We only measure work-related behaviors.
• We do not measure intelligence.
• We do not measure a person's learning curve.
• We cannot determine race, gender, or religion.
• We cannot determine your age.
• We cannot determine your ambition.
• We do not measure anything abnormal or clinical.

Take your time, read the instructions, and complete the survey by yourself. It is important to complete the survey once you have begun. The average person requires 8-10 minutes. If you cannot set aside at least that much time right now, then please close the screen and re-use the link to complete the survey when you have more time.
