Critical Incidents

Dr. Brislin and his colleagues developed 100 critical incidents to introduce us a range of experiences or encounters we may have when dealing with people from another culture. I have selected the following incidents for your practice. Each incident starts with a scenario, followed by a question relating to an intercultural problem at hand. You are to choose an answer among the alternatives given that best explains the situation.

• Incident One
• Incident Two
