The CCAI: The Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory is commercially available.

As documented here, it includes 4 scales:

  • Emotional Resilience (ER) Scale Helps measure the degree to which an individual can rebound and react positively to new experiences.
  • Flexibility/Openness (FO) Scale Helps measure the extent to which a person enjoys the different ways of thinking and behaving that are typically encountered in the cross-cultural experience.
  • Perceptual Acuity (PAC) Scale Helps measure the extent to which a person pays attention to and accurately perceives various aspects of the environment.
  • Personal Autonomy (PA) Scale Helps measure the extent to which an individual has evolved a personal system of values and beliefs and at the same time respects others and their value systems.
