SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Example Questions From the Test

When completing this test, you are to indicate a course of action for each of the problem situations listed below. Only one response may be selected for each question. Answer each question as candidly as possible. Indicate how you believe you would actually behave in similar situations, rather than how one “should” behave. If you respond in a socially desirable manner, the usefulness of this exercise will be lost. Keep in mind that no one is evaluating you. This is a self-assessment.
    • You say nothing and serve the meal after removing the burned parts and garnishing the dishes.
    • You feel irritated and explain to your guests why the food burned: you were expecting them at 7:00 p.m., not 9:00 p.m.
    • You serve light snacks and drinks. You say you “burned” the meat and that you are very sorry, and you suggest going out to dinner at your favorite restaurant.
    • After some hesitation, you decide not to photograph the child and look around for another subject to photograph.
    • You realize the man does not want you to take the photo. You do not understand why, but you apologize and put the camera away.
    • You wait for a moment when the man is not watching you and take the photo.
    • You assume she is unfriendly and prejudiced against Russians (or against Europeans).
    • You realize that kissing on a first date may be against the local custom, but you plan to call her the next day to apologize and ask for another date.
    • You assume you misjudged the situation and that she simply did not enjoy the evening as much as you did.
These are 3 of the 13 real questions — the rest appear in the test. No sign-up needed to start.

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

Cross-Cultural Adaptability and Responsiveness Test - Symptoms and Signs

business communication
ethnopsychology
intergroup relations

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.
