Thank you for your interest in completing the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®). Northspan's Welcoming Community program offers the IDI to governments, quasi-governmental community groups, and organizations across northeast Minnesota with the goal of elevating our rural community leaders’ intercultural fluency and competence.
Please fill out the form below to determine if you qualify to complete your FREE Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) Assessment and an individual IDI Debrief tailored to your Developmental Orientation (DO).
The free IDI assessment and 75-minute individual debrief with a certified IDI administrator are available to one individual per organization with the goal of spreading the impact of the IDI over a broad range of groups.
Northspan hopes individuals who participate in the free IDI will encourage their organizations to offer the IDI to other staff members through avenues such as existing organizational professional development budgets.
The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is a well-respected tool for measuring an individual’s approach or orientation to engaging across cultural similarity and difference. It has been shown through research to be reliable and cross-culturally valid. Understanding our default orientation allows us to more consciously decide if that or another approach (orientation) would better serve our goals and the group/setting we are in. Understanding the Intercultural Development model also allows us to assess and respond more effectively to how others are engaging in a particular situation.
