    There are not very many instruments that measure one's motivation towards interacting with other cultures, or that help the learner understand the value of meta-cognition (strategizing).  And, after 20+ years as a study abroad advisor, I can tell you that most undergrads don't think much about using their metacognitive skills to succeed in culture-crossing situations.  Using the CQS can help them think more deeply about how they think about intercultural success and also about how mindful strategizing is a good professional skill to have!
