CernySmith Assessments (CSA) are online assessments that measure stress in 5 major areas: Organizational, Cross-Cultural, Relational, Personal, and Behavioral as it relates to the adjustment and well being of people living and working cross-culturally. For more information on the specific scales please click here. Each assessment (CSA-B Business, CSA-D Diplomat, CSA-M Military, CSA-N Non-Profit, CSA-S Student) is designed for people 15 years and older and takes about 20 minutes to complete. The CSA is fully automated, easy to use, and comes with a personalized report that is available immediately after completion.  CSA Reports come in three versions: CSA-Brief (4 page, non-coached report), CSA-Feedback (10 page report, coach interpretation recommended) and CSA-Team (14 page report for teams and groups).

Why People Need CSA
The three top-ranking reasons that cross-cultural assignments fail are inability to adapt to the new culture, spouse dissatisfaction, and familial concerns. Our team at CernySmith exists to provide tools and solutions to help people stop themselves from becoming another negative statistic.

The CSA evaluates and discovers areas of stress and roadblocks to adaptation. It helps reduce attrition by allowing for early detection which increases productivity and effectiveness. The assessments are a source of vision and direction for individuals and organizations alike.

Cross-cultural adaptation is a process that requires continuous evaluation. The CSA can be taken pre-field as a way to create baseline data that can be used as a comparison to later assessments taken on-field/post-field. On-field and post-field assessments are vitally important parts of the process and can be used for skill development tracking and re-entry assessing.
