Dr. Hugo Hervitz, Executive Director of Forum-Nexus Study Abroad, developed the concept of International IQ, a unique measure of international knowledge. This indicator evaluates the level of awareness and knowledge in the fields of geography, history, politics, economics, culture and current events.
In order to quantify a person's International IQ level, Dr. Hervitz designed the IKAT (International Knowledge Assessment Test), which is being used by universities and companies in several countries. All students enrolled in Forum-Nexus programs will participate in the workshop "How to Increase your International IQ" conducted by Dr. Hervitz.
