Vancouver is delighted to host this Private Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), LLC qualifying seminar. IDI offers both public and “private” or customized IDI Qualifying Seminars. Most IDI Seminars are offered publicly and take place in the US. Offering a “private” seminar will afford interested educators in BC easier access to the training while being delivered by an IDI Qualified Administrator.

The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) assesses intercultural competence—the capability to shift cultural perspective and appropriately adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalities. The IDI Assessment is a 50-item questionnaire available online that can be completed in 15–20 minutes and can be administered by licensed IDI Qualified Administrators. Thousands of Qualified Administrators in more than 30 countries have extensively applied the IDI in corporate, non-profit, government, faith-based, and educational contexts.

Attendance at an IDI Qualifying Seminar and consent to a licensing agreement is required to use the IDI Assessment. Participants will receive IDI handouts and materials that include detailed interpretive guidelines, and written descriptions of procedures. During the seminar, participants will:

Gain proficiency in using the IDI for increasing intercultural competence for individuals, teams, and organizations
Learn how the IDI differs from traditional measures of intercultural competence
Learn how to interpret individual and group IDI profiles of intercultural competence
Practice giving IDI feedback in supportive role-play scenarios
Receive training and access to use the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory® (ICS®)

For more information on the ICS, offered by ICS Inventory, LLC, visit www.icsinventory.com.

All participants who complete the IDI Qualifying Seminar are recognized as IDI Qualified Administrators who are licensed to utilize and administer the IDI Assessment.
