The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI)

The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is a tool designed to assess an individual's intercultural competence, which is their ability to effectively interact with people from different cultures. It measures one's mindset and skills in navigating cultural differences through a structured questionnaire. The IDI provides feedback on one's current position along a developmental continuum, ranging from ethnocentrism to ethnorelativism. This insight helps individuals and organizations identify areas for growth in understanding and bridging cultural gaps, ultimately fostering better communication and relationships in diverse settings.
