Our method
A short test, built around everyday situations.
Three everyday dimensions
Your answers place you on three dimensions. They describe tendencies, without ranking people. Which practices are useful depends on the context and what’s at stake.
How you approach AI
Some people jump straight in, others prefer to wait and see. Both attitudes are useful.
How you get things done
Some improvise and try things out, others plan ahead and stick to what works.
How you handle information
Some check information as a matter of course; others trust more readily. Either way, how much you check should depend on what a mistake would cost.
Eight ways to approach AI
Combining the three dimensions gives eight profiles, grouped into four families. No profile is better than another. Each has its strengths and profiles that complement it.
Questions that cross-check each other
Each dimension rests on seven questions: three pointing to one pole, three to the other, often the same situation seen from both sides, and one question where you choose between two ways of doing things. Wording questions both ways aims to limit the effect of a tendency to always answer “agree”. Different answers can also reflect different contexts. If your answers often contradict each other, or are almost all neutral, your result says so and presents itself as more nuanced.
How an answer counts
Each question belongs to a single dimension. For example, agreeing with “I like keeping up with what’s new in AI, out of curiosity” moves you towards Enthusiastic, and agreeing with “I take an interest in something new in AI when it can be of use to me” moves you towards Cautious. On each dimension, one question also asks you to choose between two ways of doing things, with no neutral point. If you are exactly in the middle, that question decides. Your answers are combined to calculate your position on each dimension. The percentage shown is that position in the model; it is neither a skill level nor a likelihood of success.
When two profiles are close
On each dimension, the test keeps the pole you lean towards, even slightly. The three poles kept make up your profile. If your score is within 10 points of the centre of a dimension, the result mentions a neighbouring profile to add nuance, for example “with a touch of Investigator”. That’s the profile you would have got by leaning the other way. If several dimensions are that close, the one nearest the centre counts. Two people with the same profile can therefore have different shades.
A test about everyday life
The test draws on everyday situations and on how you approach what’s new in AI. No technical expertise is needed.
The limits of the test
The test doesn’t replace a psychological assessment and doesn’t measure your skills. It’s a starting point for finding the uses of AI that suit you. Your profile offers a reading of your answers at a given moment. It can change, it doesn’t sum you up and it isn’t a measure of your professional ability.
