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). The IDI, owned by Dr. Mitchell Hammer and IDI, LLC, and based on Milton Bennett s Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS M. J. Bennett, 1986 J. M. Bennett M. J. Bennett, 2004 see also Bennett, Chapter 5, this volume), is useful in providing a framework for understanding the developmental stages of cultural competence.
