GCI

I think the Global Competencies Inventory was a great exercise that helped me understand my self-better.

The result

I found the result very interesting, I liked how the way it was divided into categories. For the most part my result was in the high range but what surprised me was the fact that I am in a low category for inclusiveness. The reason is that since I was twelve years old I been traveling and adapting new cultures and I thought I was more accepting. One of my survival techniques was being able to find something in common with different culture, so when I found out the result being low on inclusiveness categories it took me by surprise. I have been able to adapt and accept new culture and people. I was surprised to find out that the result was low.

Learning

I learn that when we are trying to be intercultural competent we have to be trained and learn about ourselves. The reason being is that when we learn to learn or get trained we will find our strength and weakness. Sometimes we might think we are competent however in my opinion we need a checkpoint to remind us how to be more intercultural competent. In my case I thought I was open-minded for different people and situation but according to the test I am not. So my plan is to learn more about my self be intercultural competent.
