INTERCULTURAL DEVELOPMENT INVENTORY® (IDI®)

Cultural Assessment

What assessment tools does CBRT use?

The official assessment measure of CBRT is the Intercultural Development Inventory®. The IDI® is a valid and reliable assessment of intercultural competence. It has been developed and tested using rigorous cross-culturally validated psychometric protocols with over 220,000 respondents from various cultural groups and countries. In addition, the IDI has been translated into multiple languages using rigorous back translation protocols.

  • IDI individual results are provided in an Individual Profile Report that is shared in a confidential, one-on-one Debrief with a licensed Qualified Administrator. Engagement in this guided conversation can provide powerful insights to one’s strengths and developmental opportunities for more effective engagement across difference.

  • The IDI Group Profile Report provides valuable information about the mindset/skillset toward cultural differences and commonalities within an identified group of three or more people. Your team can gain valuable insights into how your group engages cultural differences by reflecting on past and current cross-cultural events or situations the group has experienced. Dr. Crawford will explain the monocultural and intercultural development and implications for your team, facilitate dialogue about the profile, and provide recommendations for the next steps for anti-bias individual, interpersonal, and institutional work.

  • The IDI Individual Profile Report provides valuable information about an individual’s mindset/skillset toward cultural differences and commonality. Individuals can gain valuable insights into how they engage in cultural differences. Dr. Crawford provides the Individual Profile Report during a one-on-one confidential meeting. She uses the IDI Profile results to help individuals increase their own cultural self- and other-understanding of such differences and commonalities. During this meeting, the individual is invited to reflect on their/her/his experience taking the IDI and identify ways the report is related to their individual bias, prejudice, and racism.

CBRT Adaptive Online Learning Program

Adaptive learning allows users to learn at their own pace while providing a baseline level of knowledge. This approach allows additional trainings to focus on more advanced content while providing valuable feedback about the current level of knowledge for everyone in your organization. More specifically, an adaptive online learning program is similar to an asynchronistic online learning program, except it provides feedback to the user and the CBRT team.   

  • The field of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging has created lots of resources to support independent learning. However, finding high-quality and theory-driven training can be challenging. Dr. Crawford has created an interactive, asynchronistic online learning program using adaptive learning technology.  The CBRT Adaptive Learning Program is interactive and intuitive, resulting in an online learning experience that goes beyond general training to actively engage each individual, hone-in on specific problem areas, and create customized recommendations for further individual and organizational follow-up.  

  • CBRT’s adaptive learning solution conforms to an individual’s learning style and metacognitive confidence to increase efficiency and user engagement, reducing learning time by 50%. On completion, our real-time data analytics highlight specific need areas in the aggregate, by module, individual or group, allowing Dr. Crawford to recommend further customized interventions.
