Summary/Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to adapt the Intercultural Competence Scale (ICS) developed by Chao (2014) into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability. For test-retest reliability, the scale was first evaluated by applying it to 74 students studying at foundation and state universities. The test-retest reliability coefficient was found to be 0.916. Secondarily, it was applied to 382 students and the reliability coefficient was found to be 0.906. The fit indices obtained as a result of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) are among acceptable fit indices. Thus, the 30-item 5-dimensional structure adapted to our language was statistically validated in terms of validity and reliability.
