Hofstede Mini Questionnaire

Hofstede Mini Questionnaire

To prepare for the second tutorial please complete the following short questionnaire. Each answer has a scale from A to F. You need to circle one letter for each question. There is some guidance to explain each scale (eg very high anxiety etc), and it important to identify the place on each scale that you feel best applies to you personally.

This questionnaire was developed from an original instrument designed by Mead (2000, pp.103-105)
