The INCA assessment comprises three different types of tests; all of them test either one or various of the six INCA competences:

Questionnaires | Scenarios | Role Plays

Questionnaires
There are two questionnaires which can be filled out either on-line or as pencil and paper questionnaires. These questionnaires help the assessors to gain information on the professional background of the assessee and his personal experience in intercultural situations.

Scenarios
There are text-based scenarios and one video-based scenario. Assessees either read a text about an intercultural situation or see a video showing such a situation and have to answer questions – multiple choice questions as well as open-ended questions. All scenarios can be completed with pencil and paper or as on-line tests. Each question covers one aspect of intercultural competence.

Role plays
Assessees have to play a certain role and communicate and interact with role play partners (either assessors or actors). Assessors will observe the role play, take notes and evaluate the assessees’ behaviour. The role play Construction tests all six elements of intercultural competence.
