AI Skills Assessment
Measure AI skills by what people demonstrate, not what they claim
A 20-minute conversation that scores 11 AI skills across 5 dimensions. Every score is tied to a specific quote — evidence, not self-assessment. Free for individuals. Built for hiring screens and team baselines.
11 AI skills, measured through conversation
AISA's AI skills assessment evaluates 11 specific criteria grouped into 5 dimensions. The assessment adapts to your role and skill level — a software engineer gets different questions than a marketing manager, but both are scored against the same validated rubric.
| Dimension | What it measures | Avg score |
|---|---|---|
| Prompting & Communication | Prompt design, iterative dialogue, context management | 45/100 |
| Critical Thinking | Output evaluation, limitation awareness | 44/100 |
| Technical Understanding | AI fundamentals, tool landscape | 41/100 |
| Workflow & Application | Workflow integration, task decomposition, domain application | 50/100 |
| Safety & Responsibility | Data boundaries, risk awareness, downstream impact | 42/100 |
Average scores from 1,200+ assessed professionals. Framework validated against Anthropic's AI Fluency Index (93% overlap).
Why a conversation, not a quiz
Multiple-choice AI quizzes test whether you know what a large language model is. AISA tests whether you can use one effectively. The difference is the same as a driving theory test versus an actual driving test.
In a conversation, the evaluator sees how you structure prompts under real constraints, how you iterate when the first output is wrong, whether you check facts or accept them, and how you decompose complex tasks. None of this is visible in a quiz.
The result is a scored AI fluency profile across all 11 criteria, a persona classification (one of 10 AI personas), and specific growth recommendations. AISA's data shows professionals overestimate their AI skills by 18.5 points — the assessment closes that gap.
Built for hiring and team development
Hiring screens
Compare candidates on demonstrated AI capability — not resume claims. The evidence-backed report gives hiring managers specific, quotable data points for each criterion.
Team baselines
Assess your team before investing in AI training. Know exactly which dimensions need attention and which are already strong — by role, department, or seniority.
Training ROI
Run the same assessment before and after training. The rubric is fixed, so the comparison is apples-to-apples — measurable proof that the investment worked.
AI certification
Top performers can unlock the official AISA AI Skills Certificate — a verifiable credential backed by their assessment evidence, not a course completion badge.

What does an AI skills assessment measure?
AISA measures 11 specific AI skills grouped into 5 dimensions: Prompting & Communication, Critical Thinking, Technical Understanding, Workflow & Application, and Safety. Each skill is scored from demonstrated behaviour in a conversation, not from self-reported answers or multiple-choice questions.
Can I use this AI skills assessment for hiring?
Yes. AISA provides a scored profile across 11 criteria with evidence quotes for each score. Hiring managers can compare candidates on specific dimensions rather than relying on resume claims. The assessment takes 20 minutes and results are available immediately.
How is this different from an AI quiz?
AI quizzes test knowledge recall through multiple choice. AISA tests demonstrated skill through conversation — how you structure prompts, evaluate output, decompose tasks, and reason about AI behaviour. The same distinction as a driving theory test versus an actual driving test.
Is the AI skills assessment free?
Yes. The individual assessment and full detailed report are completely free. For teams and organisations, assessments cost $10 per credit with volume pricing available.
The Science Behind AISA
In 2026, Anthropic published the AI Fluency Index — the largest empirical study of AI fluency to date, analysing nearly 10,000 conversations. AISA covers 93% of the behaviours Anthropic identified as markers of AI fluency and goes even deeper with 4 additional dimensions. The U.S. Department of Labor's AI Literacy Framework (TEN 07-25) defines what every worker needs to know about AI — AISA covers 100% of its 25 sub-competencies.Read our analysis: Anthropic's AI Fluency Study & AISA · DOL AI Literacy Framework & AISA
