How Culturally Aware are You?

Try a few of the cross-cultural quizes at kwintessential

Can you answer questions like:

 During a break for a meeting between you and a group of Saudis, you walk into the men's room to find a few of them washing their feet in the sink. You think:
They must have had smelly feet
They are simply freshening themselves up
Are preparing to read their prayers
2. You are asking a question of a junior Japanese colleague and he/she looks down and answers you. He/she :
Has something to hide and is looking for answers to cover his/her back
Is paying you respect
3. Your German colleague says about a proposal you have put together, "no offense, but this idea is ridiculous". He/she :
is merely expressing their opinion and means no harm
is being blunt and has no etiquette

There are many more questions - and the answers - at kwintessencial.
