Vocational Assessment
Intercultural Development Inventory
As the Seminary strives to prepare women and men who are confident in their ministry skill across cultures and geographies, we also ask you to complete the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) when you enter North Park. This assessment is a 50-item, theory-based instrument that measures your intercultural competence. You’ll be asked to refer to your own results throughout your Seminary program, looking for ways that you can develop your skill and understanding in this area.
The IDI works in conjunction with the of your component. You’ll take it again when you register for this module, typically in your last year at ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theological Seminary. In this experience, you’ll participate in a small group discussion to reflect on your intercultural development and experiences, as well as how you will incorporate further learning throughout your life in ministry.
