Answer to Question 1
Answer: B
Explanation: Hofstede measured individualism and collectivism on the same scale. Individualism measured how independent people considered themselves, while collectivism measured how strongly they identified with a group. The more individualistic a person was, the less collectivist he or she tended to be. The dimensions of power distance and uncertainty avoidance are not measures of the strength of a person's identification with a group so neither is a correct response.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: D
Explanation: Hofstede's landmark study showed that different cultures varied widely in values that Hofstede termed cultural dimensions. This eliminates the choice regarding people being largely the same from culture to culture as a correct response, since views varied widely. Hofstede did not indicate any great difference in the views of managers versus employees or IBM employees versus the general population.
