The NCCC views self-assessments as an ongoing process, not a one-time occurrence. The process offers organizations and their personnel the opportunity to assess individual and collective progress over time.
Healthcare: How do I know my doctor is comfortable with me culturally? Or, if you are going to work with people, how comfortable are YOU, caring for others?

Dimensions of Diversity
The “Dimensions of Diversity” wheel shows the complexity of the diversity filters through which all of us process stimuli and information. That in turn leads to the assumptions that we make (usually about the behaviors of other people), which ultimately drive our own behaviors, which in turn have an impact on others.

Project Implicit
Take a variety of self-assessments. Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition - thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about hidden biases and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the Internet.
