Intercultural Development Inventory®
Project FINE staff are qualified administrators of the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®). The IDI® assesses intercultural competence—the capability to shift cultural perspective and appropriately adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalities.
The Intercultural Development Inventory is a 50-item questionnaire available online that can be completed in 15–20 minutes. It is a wonderful tool for businesses, organizations and groups to assess their intercultural competence and gain practical tips to advance their awareness.
