The Intercultural Development Inventory ™ (IDI), developed by Mitchell R. Hammer, Ph.D., and Milton J. Bennett, Ph.D., is a statistically reliable, cross-culturally valid measure of an individual’s or group’s intercultural competence.
Grounded in the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity originated by Dr. Bennett (DMIS), the IDI has been successfully used since 1998 in corporate, academic, and other settings to aid individual coaching and action-planning, to guide real and virtual multicultural team development, to generate needs analyses for targeted training, and to conduct program evaluation, organizational development, diversity programs, and research efforts.
IDI products and services are owned and operated by Mitchell R. Hammer, Ph.D. through IDI LLC and offered by the Intercultural Communication Institute. The 2008 Qualifying Seminar and 2008 Advanced Workshop schedules are now available.
