The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) ® as a tool for Diversity and Inclusion
One of the most widely used tools, available worldwide to measure growth and progress, is the Intercultural Development Inventory. It is a comprehensive, cross culturally validated assessment of intercultural competence.
The Core Concepts of intercultural development are; Culture, Diversity, Inclusion and Intercultural Competence.
The Intercultural Development Inventory will help members of your organization learn how they respond to and engage cultural difference. Having developmental tools to increase the intercultural capacity of your team members will help your intervention efforts work.
Select colleagues and I, are Qualified Administrators and licensed by IDI, LLC to provide the IDI assessment for your organization. As consultants, we have years of experience in academia, government, non-profit and international organizations. Contact us to learn more. We would enjoy providing this service to your organization.
Due to the pandemic, all work is currently being done online.
Synopsis of the IDI
The IDI® is the only theory-based assessment of intercultural competence. Unlike other tools that measure separate personal characteristics (e.g., open-mindedness, flexibility), the IDI allows you to see an individual’s or group’s progression along a continuum of cross-cultural competence. Because of this, the IDI provides in-depth insights on how individuals and groups make sense of cultural differences and also how they respond to cultural differences (from how they currently engage cultural differences to how they can more effectively engage diversity). The IDI measures both one’s mindset and skillset. The IDI facilitates cooperative conversations and actions directed toward growth and development along the Intercultural Development Continuum, rather than judgment and resistance.
For each individual who completes the assessment, the IDI creates a customized Intercultural Development Plan (IDP) that guides individuals and groups through a series of activities and self-reflections that developmentally build intercultural capacity. IDI Guided DevelopmentTM 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.
The Intercultural Development Inventory has been psychometrically tested and found to possess strong validity and reliability across diverse cultural groups. This validity includes predictive validity within both the corporate and educational sectors. The IDI has been rigorously tested and has cross-cultural generalizability across both international and domestic diversity.
