Self assessment

See whether you are set up to live and work in an unfamiliar country, and whether this is a real pull toward the place and the opportunity rather than the shine of abroad.

Ready to live abroad, and is it the right move

84 questions · about 25 minutes

What you will learn

Three things, clearly.

  • How your adaptability, comfort with the unfamiliar, and ease starting fresh with strangers set you up for a move.
  • Whether you want this particular place and path, or mostly the idea of being abroad.
  • How well you have actually looked into the country and the life, and what is worth checking before you commit.

Where this comes from

This reads two things side by side. Readiness draws on the predictors of thriving abroad, including adaptability, comfort with ambiguity, and the drive to build new relationships from scratch. Rightness draws on cultural intelligence research: how you adjust your behaviour across cultures, how ready you are for the discomfort of adjusting, and how well-informed your picture of the place really is, plus a tested sense of fit and reasons that are your own. It offers two honest readings and a short prep map, not a single score and not a verdict.
