    This document provides a 20-item cultural diversity self-assessment inventory intended to help individuals rate their ability to communicate effectively in multicultural settings. Respondents use a 1-5 scale to rate their agreement with statements about appreciating different communication styles, avoiding offensive language or assumptions, listening skills, understanding cultural differences, and ability to work with those different from themselves. Scores of 80 or above indicate the respondent values diversity and can work well in multicultural environments, scores below 50 suggest difficulty in such settings and a need for further training, and scores between 50-80 mean room for improvement but progress in the right direction.

    CULTURAL DIVERSITY SELF-ASSESSMENT INVENTORY

    To assess how you communicate in a multi-cultural setting, rate your responses to the statements
    below. Use a scale of 1 to 5 to rate how strongly you agree with the statement, 1 being low
    agreement and 5 being high. This is strictly for self-awareness and will not be used by anyone but
    you during the session.
    1. I appreciate different ways of communicating. _____

    2. I avoid jargon or slang when I’m around those who don’t understand my cultural jargon or slang.
    _____
    3. I listen as I speak; I do not interrupt. _____
    4. I consider the effect of cultural differences on messages being transmitted. _____
    5. I check my assumptions about others who are culturally or racially different than I. _____
    6. When experiencing frustration or sensing conflict in a cross-cultural situation, I ask myself,
    “What’s really going on here?” _____
    7. I realize others may stereotype me and I try to overcome any incorrect assumptions they make
    about me. _____
    8. I do not judge people on their accent or language fluency. _____
    9. I never use ethnic jokes and I object when others do. _____
    10. I never make remarks that are “hot buttons” for women, people of color, or any other group.
    _____
    11. I recognize I am a product of my own upbringing, and my way is not the only way. _____
    12. I’m patient and flexible. I can accept different ways of getting a job done as long as the results are
    good. _____
    13. I am curious about people who are different than I, thus, I make it my business to meet people
    who are different than I by race, gender, culture. _____
    14. Some of my friends or associates are different from me in age, gender, race, physical abilities,
    economic status, sexual orientation and education. _____
    15. I listen carefully. _____
    16. I like people and accept them as they are. _____
    17. I am sensitive to the feelings of others and observe their reactions when I am talking. _____
    18. I am aware of my prejudice and consciously try to control my assumptions about people. _____
    19. I ask for clarification when I don’t understand what someone is saying. _____
    20. I recognize my personal and cultural values and know which values I am able to compromise
    without losing my integrity. _____

    HOW TO SCORE: Total your answers. If your score is 80 or above, you probably value diversity and
    are able to work with people who are different from yourself. If you score is 50 or below, you
    probably experience much difficulty working in a multi-cultural setting and could benefit from
    further training. Between 50 and 80 you are headed in the right direction, but there is much room
    for improvement.
