Intercultural competence within the intercultural field is a growing practice, and there are a number of different assessment tools available. Assessment helps establish a baseline and it also allows for conversations around intercultural barriers, etc. etc. This session is for people who are interested in acquiring or re-assessing  their baseline and moving forward along their intercultural competence journey,  or  are considering using an assessment tool in their organization or training practice.

Workshop Description:

The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) is a reliable and validated set of 50 multiple-choice questions formulated to provide a group or an individual with insight and information about their mindset/skillset regarding cultural difference and commonality. The IDI questionnaire takes about 20–30 minutes to complete.

Prior to the IDI workshop, participants will individually take the IDI. Then, during the workshop, the participants will learn more about the continuum and will receive a summary of their group’s specific IDI. As the IDI describes intercultural development as a continuum, the summary will also provide suggestions for strategies and activities to further develop appropriate adaptations to cultural differences, recognizing commonalities between ourselves and others. Success in achieving goals to adapt in culturally appropriate ways with diverse individuals and groups is better served when there is a deeper understanding of culturally-learned differences. A discussion will follow on considerations for using  intercultural assessments.

Participants who would like to understand their own individual IDI summary following the workshop can choose to have a confidential one-to-one conversation with a qualified administrator. Names and individual results will not be discussed during the group session.
