Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patrick's ability to adjust to the host country's culture and work ethics demonstrates his intercultural competency. He was able to adapt to the new environment by being self-confident and flexible, without imposing his own cultural values onto others (ethnocentrism) or rejecting the host culture in favor of his own (xenocentrism). There is also no indication that he was struggling with uncertainty (uncertainty avoidance) or overly focused on himself (egocentrism).
