PREPARATION
Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES)
Before starting the assessment, take the Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES), which is a Web-based assessment that will provide you with information on a set of values and competencies to help you understand your preferences and learn to be a more effective global leader and manager. Before taking the IES, think about whether you consider yourself low, moderate, or high in areas focused on continuous learning (for example, self-awareness and exploration); interpersonal engagement (including global mindset and relationship interest); and hardiness (characteristics such as positive regard and emotional resilience).

An invitation to take the IES is sent to your preferred e-mail address on file with Capella University within 48 business day hours of enrollment from webtools(at)aperianglobal.com. You may need to check your spam folder. If you do not receive your e-mail invitation within the expected time, please contact a Coach/Advisor for escalation tracking and resolution.

After receipt of the email, complete the following:

Read the Accessing the IES instructions.
Follow the Taking the IES instructions to complete the assessment.
Review the results of the IES, which will be sent to you after you complete the inventory.
