The self-assessment process that we propose is very simple and intuitive.
 
This first part covers two main competences areas which are:
Area D - Intercultural competence allows interaction with people from different countries and understanding their traditions, values, and culture.
Area E - International relationships development competence is important if the company wants to build strong and successful international business relationships with your European partners.
 
Each area deals with specific questions which are answered on a five-point scale and consist of a statement with which the respondent can agree or disagree (European Commission, 2020a):
- Strongly disagree 
- Disagree
- Slightly agree
- Agree
- Strongly agree
