Cultural Self Assessment Questionnaire

MUSIC Intercultural Model

Since 1996 THE BRIDGE has been working with global organisations and seen the business benefits of increased intercultural understanding. Improved communication, better project planning and above all, an increase in trust and productivity . Our Cross Cultural Effectiveness programme dramatically increases a person's tolerance and understanding of different cultural values and norms, thereby increasing trust and motivation in the team.

Cultural Self Assessment Questionnaire

The following questionnaire deals with a variety of situations that are relevant in identifying your individual cultural values.

The questionnaire is effective only when you describe yourself as you really are and not how you would like to be seen by others. Try to complete the questionnaire with spontaneous answers.

Your questionnaire will of course be treated confidentially.

If there be any point which is unclear, please note it down to discuss during the workshop
