individuals who are working in the same organization. With the help of it, two or more persons
get to know other people and interact with them so that they can get aware of their culture and
analyze differences and similarities in them (Benčiková, Malá and Ďaďo, 2019). With the help of

analyze own culture an autobiography questionnaire is being filled by myself. All the essential
details are being mentioned regarding me and my culture so that all of them could be compared
with the colleague (Deardorff and Arasaratnam-Smith, 2017). The questionnaire is as follows:
