Individualism–Collectivism Scale Test

cultural valuespersonality orientation

This measure assesses a respondent’s orientation toward independence versus group-based values in everyday attitudes and decision-making. The Individualism–Collectivism Scale is commonly used in cultural and social psychological research to describe individual differences in self-construal and interpersonal priorities. The version attributed to Harry C. Triandis is typically administered as a brief self-report.

The instrument contains 30 items and generally requires about 6 minutes to complete. The Individualism–Collectivism Scale may be used to support research or clinical formulation by clarifying whether a person tends to emphasize personal autonomy, group harmony, or related interpersonal obligations, with interpretation considered in the context of culture, setting, and response style.
