The scientific study on Human Intelligence was started in late 1800s, Sir Francis Galton became the first person who studied Intelligence scientifically and after his work different aspects of intelligence were studied and developed by different well-known personalities. Interestingly the study of Intelligence is still getting brand-new directions. The investigators were inspired by this fact of Intelligence, hence conducted a study on Cultural Intelligence.
