The IDI is the only theory-based assessment of intercultural competence. This tool provides in-depth insights on how individuals and groups make sense of cultural differences and how they respond to cultural differences. This tool measures both mindset AND skillset.

The IDI is the only developmental assessment of intercultural competence. This allows individuals and groups to focus on increasing their intercultural competence (from how they currently engage cultural differences to how they can more effectively engage diversity). The IDI facilitates cooperative conversations and actions directed toward growth and development rather than judgment and resistance.

The IDI results are actionable. The IDI produces for each individual, a customized, Intercultural Development Plan (IDP) that guides the person through a series of activities and self-reflections that developmentally build intercultural competence. In addition, IDI Guided Development™ is a proprietary, proven approach for designing training and other interventions that substantially increases intercultural competence for groups and organizations based on IDI profile results.
