differently and not that they are incapable of learning.

Cultural CompetencyCultural Competency Self-AssessmentThis
resource was adapted from "Cultural Competency Self-
Assessment Checklist," from the Refugee Assistance Program
Workers website (rapworkers.com). This cultural competency
self-assessment will allow you to identify your assets and
weaknesses as a leader. By doing so, you will be able to gain
insight into how you can improve your own self-leadership
skills.
Read each entry in the categories of Awareness, Knowledge,
Skills, Physical Environment, Materials, and Resources and
Values and Attitudes.
For each entry (row), place a number “1” in the column that
corresponds with your selection (Never,
Sometimes/Occasionally, Fairly Often/Pretty Well, and
Always/Very Well). You will only have one selection per entry
(row).
The Excel spreadsheet will tally up your results and provide you
with a total for each category.

9. This self-assessment is not a test and will not have a right or
wrong answer. The self-assessment should only be used as a
tool to help you identify areas of strength and areas that might
need further development.
