Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®)
This assessment and follow-up engagements are famous for creating a more inclusive environment.
​
Understanding where you stand in your intercultural competence and the path to optimizing this further is essential for anybody moving abroad or in daily contact with another culture privately or in the workplace. It gives insights into our own unconscious biases.
​
This assessment sets itself apart by focusing on a theory-based psychometric evaluation. It is designed by Mitchell Hammer, and it will create awareness of how an individual experiences cultural differences and similarities and gives a direction in which to develop more intercultural competence. The IDI® is a cross-culturally valid and reliable instrument that creates a “worldview profile.” It will also identify issues limiting or facilitating the development of intercultural competence.
​
With the awareness gained through the IDI® Debrief, clients can reshape attitudes and consciously choose less biased perspectives resulting in higher inclusion, acceptance, and belonging.
How the Intercultural Development Inventory® Assessment works
The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) assesses intercultural competence—the capability to shift cultural perspective and appropriately adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalities.
Intercultural competence has been identified as a critical capability in several studies focusing on the overseas effectiveness of international sojourners, international business adaptation and job performance, international student adjustment, international transfer of technology and information, international study abroad, and inter-ethnic relations within nations.
