Successful Expatriate
This questionnaire has been prepared on the basis of skills, which are associated with the success rate of working abroad. Read the whole list at first carefully and afterwards award yourself with a 1 for those skills or qualities which you would rate low, a 2 for those you consider moderate and a 3 for skills or qualities you would rate high. Ask a person that knows you well to fill in the second column.
To find out if you are suitable for an international career we have developed another test: Answer the questions of the True Globe Hopper test and you will know!
