Experience of Difference Exercise

This exercise is based on Milton Bennett's  "From Ethnocentrism to Ethnorelativism." P62 in Toward Multiculturalism. Readings in Multicultural Education. Edited by Jaime S. Wurzel.

(See digital version on this website under Toward Multiculturalism)

This is not a test, it is an instructional tool.  The results of the exercise do not indicate achieving a particular developmental stage. It merely helps us to understand  the complex process of experiencing difference in a cultural context.

Match each statement with an Experience of Difference stage.  The feedback option, at the end of each question provides you with an explanation.

You can voice any questions, thoughts, disagreements and concerns by posting a comment after completion of the exercise.
