Traditionally, the term "CQ" has been used in reference to business and social models or programs while more militaristic terms such as the abbreviation "CULTINT" are used in government and military operations.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or intelligence:
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
“There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
