Wesleyan Intercultural Competence Scale

This unusual (and brilliant, in our opinion) survey was developed as a post-only instrument for use with returnees from semester or year-long study abroad.  It is based on Bennett's original six-stage developmental model of intercultural sensitivity & it's available in its entirety as an appendix to an open-source scholarly article. As such, it measures presence or absence of ethnocentricity according to a multi-stage model, much like the better-known IDI. Again, we define ethnocentricity as the lack of openness and intercultural empathy.

Pre/Post Survey Instruments that align (reasonably well) to the AAC&U Intercultural Rubric

In this collection, we have gathered notes on and links to eight validated surveys, curated here in the HubICL, that align to one or more of the aspects of intercultural competence as defined in the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence rubric.  Of these eight instruments, five are free or offer a valid and reliable free version; while two offer an immediate free feedback report to the learner.  These are our current "go-to" surveys when attempting to support a study abroad instructor through the use of the worksheet for intentional intercultural planning.
