Knowledge Assessor Questions

When answering the assessment questions, avoid responses based upon your personal preference. Think about whether you have done the example activity, or something like it in your own field.

This assessment consists of a list of individual skills for you to provide your expertise level by selecting one of the radio buttons. These button selections are assigned to the following levels: Beginner, Basic, Skilled, Advanced, and Expert. To help you gauge which level you are at, each skill has a set of examples under the Beginner, Skilled and Expert columns. Each page has 10 questions.

Select a radio button under the column heading that best matches your proficiency for each skill. If you feel you fall somewhere in between columns that have provided examples, use a selection under Basic or Advanced.
To advance to the next page, select the Next button.
When you have completed the last series of questions, select the Finish button to review the results. The results tell you how many occupations you matched, and lists your skills grouped by rating.
