Intercultural Development Inventory

This week in class we discussed intercultural development and took a Intercultural Development Inventory to assess where we are on the Intercultural Development Continuum. I had a perceived Orientation score of 121.71, which means that I am in between acceptance and adaptation. My Developmental Orientation score was 105.34, which puts me between minimization and acceptance. I have an Orientation gap of 16.37, which indicates that I have overestimated my level of intercultural competence. I am going to continue to work on my intercultural development so that it is at it's highest achievable level. I believe that it will better me as an individual and as a future educator.
