Individual Diagnostics

A key addition to our services is the Cult-Euro-1 Test—the first empirically validated and standardized tool for measuring intercultural competence. It offers two independent modules: one for general intercultural competence and another for culture-specific competence in the German context. This cutting-edge tool is ideal for personnel diagnostics and development in multinational teams, public services, and client-facing roles with international customers.

The module for general intercultural competence equips employees to handle intercultural challenges, whether within teams, with clients, or on overseas assignments. The module for German culture-specific competence supports those migrating to or integrating into Germany, helping them understand the nuances of German culture and easing their integration into the workforce and society.

The Cult-Euro-1 Test provides a solid, evidence-based foundation for making informed personnel decisions and serves as a valuable resource for training, coaching, and other awareness-building initiatives. Backed by extensive validation through a research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the test guarantees the highest levels of reliability and accuracy.
