Which of these feels most naturally like you?
This free assessment maps your personal communication style, behavioural preferences, cultural intelligence and psychological safety — giving you a useful individual profile to keep. It won't show you how you compare with your teammates or where your team's friction points lie. For that fuller picture, you'd want the team version.
How you listen, speak, plan, decide, and handle disagreement — your instinctive personal style.
Your personal preferences around feedback, leadership, trust, persuasion and decision-making.
How motivated, knowledgeable, strategic and adaptive you are when working across cultural difference.
Whether you feel able to speak up, be yourself, make mistakes, and raise concerns without fear.
How this works
Answer 74 questions across five sections. Takes about 20 minutes.
Choose honestly — your instinct, not your ideal or how you think you should answer. There are no right or wrong responses.
You'll receive a personal profile across all four dimensions — download it and keep it.
If you have lived in more than one country, choose the one you feel has shaped you most.

Your scores are already calculated. These final questions take about 60 seconds and let us place your results in context — and, if you agree, contribute to research on how people work across cultural difference.
You told us where you grew up. If that is the same place, just select it again.
The language you grew up speaking, if you had more than one, the one you think in.
If it is the same as your first language, just select it again.
Only used to understand what kinds of organisations take part. Never published, never shared.
Four quick sliders about your current team. Answer on how things actually are, not how you would like them to be. If you are a student or not currently working, answer about the group you most often work with — a class, project group or organisation.
Here's your cultural communication profile across both frameworks.
Your individual profile tells you how you naturally work. The real insight comes when your whole team maps their styles together.
Where are the friction points? Who sits furthest apart in communication style? Who has the cultural intelligence to bridge the gaps — and who might need support? These are questions that only emerge when you see the full team picture.
The full team tool goes far beyond this free assessment. Every team member completes the same assessment, then our AI analyses the entire group — mapping friction pairs, identifying where communication styles clash, surfacing cultural intelligence gaps, and generating a detailed written report with specific recommendations for how your team can work better together. It is the difference between a snapshot and a strategy.
