The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) is a statistically reliable, cross-culturally valid measure of intercultural competence owned and copyrighted by Mitchell R. Hammer, Ph.D. The IDI Assessment is rigorously back-translated into each available language and is widely used in corporate, government, military, not-for-profit organizations, and educational institutions (e.g., K-12; universities) worldwide.

The IDI Assessment is administered by trained and licensed IDI Qualified Administrators. The respondent completing the IDI Assessment is asked to answer a 50-item questionnaire, available online, that can be completed in 15–20 minutes. The Qualified Administrator can then generate Individual, and Group IDI Reports based on the respondent’s answers to provide coaching and other services.
