Dimensions and Criteria Assessed
The Pro Expat Skills® test assesses in depth the personal dimensions, cultural dimensions, and technical skills essential for succeeding in an international assignment or expatriation.
Personal Dimension
Assesses personality traits that determine a candidate’s capacity for intercultural adaptation.
- Energy orientation – Extraversion: Ability to engage actively in the new environment
- Energy orientation – Introversion: Ability to reflect and analyze in an unfamiliar context
- Perception modes – Sensing: Attention to practical details of daily life abroad
- Perception modes – Intuition: Ability to spot opportunities and anticipate cultural challenges
- Decision criteria – Thinking: Logical approach to solving intercultural problems
- Decision criteria – Feeling: Empathy and understanding of local values
- Lifestyle – Judging: Organization and planning in uncertain environments
- Lifestyle – Perceiving: Flexibility and openness to cultural contingencies
Cultural differences significantly influence how these traits are valued: while some cultures favor extraversion and immediate action, others value in-depth reflection and careful observation before any decision.
Cultural Dimension
Measures intercultural sensitivity and the ability to adapt to different cultural environments.
- Control of reality: Some cultures value rigorous planning and risk minimization, whereas others accept uncertainty and see risk as inherent to life
- Relationship to rules: Contrast between cultures favoring immutable contractual agreements and those favoring evolving relationships based on circumstances
- Individual/collective achievement: Contrast between cultures valuing personal success with rapid decisions and those prioritizing team cohesion with consensual decisions
- Time orientation: Distinction between cultures oriented toward the past and elders’ experience and those focused on innovation and a forward-looking vision
- Time management: Gap between strictly sequential approaches (fixed schedules, planning) and flexible synchronous approaches (adaptability, multitasking)
- Mode of social contact: Difference between reserved communication cultures (rational, low emotional display) and those with demonstrative expression (gestures, physical contact)
- Handling priorities: Opposition between goal-oriented approaches (results, competencies) and process-centered ones (relationships, contextual adaptation)
- Status: Contrast between recognition based on demonstrated competencies and recognition based on titles and reputation
- Assertiveness/Understanding: Tension between assertive cultures seeking to persuade and those favoring consensus and relational harmony
Real-world impacts on expatriation
These cultural variations explain why many qualified expatriates fail despite strong technical skills. For example:
- A North American manager who values direct communication may be perceived as impolite in cultures where indirect communication is the norm (Japan, Korea)
- An employee used to monochronic time management (Northern Europe) may feel unsettled in environments where relationships take precedence over schedules (Latin America, Middle East)
- The ability to adapt to these differences often determines the success or failure of an international assignment
Technical Dimension
Assesses the operational skills needed to perform in an international context.
- Foreign languages and proficiency level
- Knowledge of international business practices
- Intercultural communication skills
- Mastery of remote collaboration tools
- Knowledge of international standards and regulations
- Ability to manage multicultural projects
- Experience in international negotiation
- Ability to build cross-cultural professional networks
- Assessment adapted to 40+ countries and cultural zones
Significant cultural differences
Our test analyzes the interplay between personal and cultural dimensions that determine expatriation success. For example:
- In some Asian cultures, collective success and respect for hierarchy prevail over individual initiative
- In Northern Europe, direct communication and punctuality are highly valued
- In Latin American countries, interpersonal relationships and flexibility take precedence over strict adherence to procedures
Why these dimensions are critical for expatriation
Studies show that 85% of expatriation failures are linked to cultural-adaptation factors rather than technical skills. Our test precisely identifies a candidate’s strengths and watch-outs regarding the specific intercultural challenges they will face in the host country, thereby significantly reducing the risk of failure and optimizing integration and performance.
