  Self-assessment questionnaire of the degree of integration

  The self-assessment questionnaire consists of 40 questions and is structured in the 10 thematic sections of the VIC videos. It will help you identify your degree of integration in the host country, starting at 1 (not at all) and reaching up to 5 (very much). We suggest that you complete the self-assessment questionnaire twice: once before starting the e-learning course and once after completing it. In this way you will be able to compare the answers you gave at the beginning of the course with those you gave after the end of them and see how much you have improved and in which areas. You can download the self-assessment questionnaire in pdf format or fill it in quiz format below.
