IDI – Intercultural Development Inventory
IDI, the Intercultural Development Inventory, is a method developed by the renowned American university professors Milton J. Bennett and Mitchell R. Hammer to measure people's attitudes in dealing with intercultural differences.
Now, osb international consultants can also offer this assessment instrument after being certified by Bennett and Hammer.
What is the IDI?
The Intercultural Development Indicator is a valid and reliable method for measuring people's basic attitudes toward cultural differences. The instrument is based on Milton Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) and has been used successfully in training and consulting for several years. The IDI generates statements about the ability of individuals or groups to navigate the international intercultural field and therefore provides important indicators of success and effectiveness when working in this context.
