WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Global Identity Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

identity

This brief self-report measure assesses the extent to which an individual experiences a sense of belonging to the broader global community. The Global Identity Scale is commonly used to characterize global identification as an aspect of self-concept.

It consists of 7 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate statements reflecting perceived connection to people worldwide and endorsement of a global sense of membership. The Global Identity Scale may be used in research and applied settings (e.g., education, organizational, and cross-cultural contexts) where global identification is relevant to interpersonal attitudes and engagement across cultural boundaries.
