Simply insert the number circled on the test form in the spaces provided under each subscale heading. Reverse the values for the items marked with an asterisk (*). For instance, reverse scoring results in: 7=1, 6=2, 5=3, 4=4, 3=5, 2=6, 1=7 Then, add the values in each column for the subscale score. A total ICCS score is obtained by adding the various subscale scores together. Individuals can be ranked relative to others in a particular group. You can also identify relative strengths and weaknesses that may lead to more focused orientation and planning.

Interpreting the Inventory of Cross-Cultural Sensitivity The ICCS is a 32-item instrument that provides dimensional scores for individuals on each of five subscales. Individuals can be ranked relative to others from high to low levels of sensitivity on issues and experiences related to cross-cultural or intercultural interaction (the higher the score, the more sensitive an individual is presumed to be). While the ICCS should not be used in a predictive manner, results can be used to raise people’s awareness of some of the issues to consider prior to intercultural interaction. (The technical details of the ICCS can be found following the ICCS in Part 3.) The five subscales and the range of scores include: Subscale Range of Scores Cultural Integration (C Scale): assesses the degree to which an individual integrates elements from cultures other than their own into their daily activities. 10–70 Behavioral Scale (B Scale): assesses the degree to which an individual has adopted behavior that is new or has a degree of comfort when interacting with others. 6–42 Intellectual Interaction (I Scale): assesses the degree to which an individual seeks out knowledge of other cultural orientations. 6–42 Human Diversity Workbook Activity 2 Attitude Toward Others (A Scale): assesses the degree of openness toward others. 5–35 Empathy Scale (E Scale): assesses the degree to which an individual identifies with the feelings of others 5–35 Total Score Range 32–224 In which areas are you strongest? Weakest? What are some things you might do in order to increase your abilities in each of the dimensions of the scale?
