The Winters Group uses the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI Hammer, 2010 Hammer Bennett, 2003) to measure cultural competence (we typically use this term rather than inter-cultural competence, though we mean the same thing).

If an observation is recorded on FDA Form 483, you have the opportunity to address and discuss this issue on each inspection day in the exit meeting.

Please keep in mind that for the inspectors the foreign environment and language are stressors and apply social and intercultural sensitivity in order to determine how far you can go in the discussion. 

They must act as intercultural mediators, which requires outstanding facilitation skills and interpersonal sensitivity.
