Sample IDI feedback report - to see the profound nature of the feedback	You are here!

IDI reports are visually oriented with extensive use of horizontal bar charts. They present a deep analysis of how an individual or a group tends to think and feel about cultural difference in only a few pages.

A sample report is available to view. It will be useful to read the background information on this page before opening the report. If you are not already familiar with the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) stages we also suggest reading our summary of DMIS.

The sample IDI report is for an individual who perceives that they have a fairly ethnorelative experience of cultural difference. From an actual developmental perspective, the person still tends to understand cultural difference mostly at the surface level and minimize the deeper importance and impact of cultural difference. The sample report illustrates the type of information presented.

Each person's IDI report will be unique. The relationship between the various data shown in the report varies with the person's developmental score. This is why IDI reports must be interpreted by a certified IDI administrator who is trained to interpret the details of the report.

MDB Group is pleased to provide certified IDI administrators to work with you in any capacity needed. We provide complete coaching and developmental interventions based on the IDI. We also provide administration and interpretation services to other consultants in support of their work with their clients.

Please call us; we will be happy to discuss how you may realize the full benefits of the Intercultural Development Inventory.
