WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Cross-Cultural Adaptability and Sensitivity Test

Cross-Cultural Adaptability and Responsiveness Test

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for perceived cross-cultural flexibility and situational responsiveness. The Cross-Cultural Adaptability and Responsiveness Test presents everyday interpersonal scenarios and asks respondents to select typical reactions that reflect their approach to unfamiliar cultural norms.

The instrument contains 13 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support psychoeducational feedback and discussion of potential strengths and challenges in intercultural interactions, rather than to serve as a stand-alone diagnostic indicator.

Authorship is commonly attributed to Geert Hofstede and Harry C. Triandis. The Cross-Cultural Adaptability and Responsiveness Test may be used in clinical, educational, or organizational contexts when a quick appraisal of self-perceived intercultural adjustment and sensitivity is clinically relevant.
