We have devised an intercultural test which helps you discover your own intercultural backgrounds and to reflect on them.

Every culture embraces certain cultural standards which we have divided into six cultural dimensions, based on scientific models. So you cannot only compare your home culture with other cultural standards but also learn how well you do when it comes to meeting people from other cultures.

“Raised awareness of your own cultural identity makes it easier for you to interpret statements and types of behavior in a culturally foreign environment. In these times of globalised economy, intercultural competence is becoming more and more important.“
(Zipper, Viktoriya 2009)

You can now complete our intercultural test online at www.VICCC.at/test and receive your results via email.
For a detailed evaluation and further explanations contact the VICCC team at seminar@viccc.at. Our intercultural seminars give your further opportunities for intercultural training.

The following test will astonish you. Enjoy!
