To accomplish the task, all the variables and components of the selected model have been identified using meta-synthesis studies. The obtained conceptual framework has been applied for apprising and assessing cultural intelligence using Fuzzy Delphi technique which was modified and approved for the selected statistical sample of elite. According to the studies six components that are self-openness for intercultural learning, cultural contact, foreign literature review, enjoying intercultural communication and considering cultural awareness as well as 19 basic codes were identified for assessment of cultural intelligence.
