Measure your readiness for AI. Properly.
A free research instrument — not a marketing quiz. 46 items, about 8 minutes, your profile scored immediately. English and Spanish.
Most "AI readiness assessments" measure whether you'll buy something. This one measures the things that actually decide whether AI adoption sticks: whether it feels safe to start, whether you can keep going when it misbehaves, and the three fears nobody measures — uncertainty, identity, and replacement. Plus what your organization actually does about any of it.
By "AI" here we mean AI tools at work — things like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or AI built into the programs you already use.
What it measures
- Safe to start — psychological safety around AI: asking, trying, and erring in front of the people you work with.
- Able to continue — AI self-efficacy: your own judgment of whether you can get results, recover from weird outputs, and adapt when the tools change.
- The three exposures — uncertainty, identity, and existential: the distinct fears from The Four Exposures taxonomy.
- Conditions — what your organization actually does: leader signals, sanctioned practice space, real learning time.
- Behavior — what you actually do with AI, including the parts nobody sanctioned.
Every module is anchored to published research or explicitly marked as ours — the same established-versus-proposed discipline as the Human Layer Framework and the methodology.
Validated in the open
There's also an optional seven-question interview after the battery. We're testing — in the open — whether seven honest answers, scored by AI against a fixed codebook, can recover what 46 items measure. The agreement numbers get published either way.
Who runs this
Built and reviewed by Mario Arredondo, M.A., Industrial & Organizational Psychology — the same research line as the Human Layer Framework.
Your answers
- They live in a dedicated research database that we run. No employer sees them. Ever.
- No name, no email — your profile link is an anonymous token only you hold.
- Anything published is aggregate and anonymous.
Questions, answered straight
Is this a validated AI readiness assessment?
Not yet — and it says so on every profile. It's a research instrument in open calibration: items written to published construct definitions, scored with a provisional key, with validation statistics published as they accumulate — either way. Most AI readiness assessments online are marketing quizzes; this is the other thing.
How long does it take?
About 8 minutes for the 46-item battery. There's an optional 7-question interview afterward, about 10 more minutes, that feeds the open validation experiment.
Who sees my answers?
The research, and no one else. Individual answers are never shared with any employer — the database is a dedicated research instance we run, built so only the research server can read it: no dashboards, no logins, no organizational access of any kind. Published results are aggregate and anonymous.
What do I get?
A per-module readiness profile on a 1–5 scale, rendered immediately: psychological safety, self-efficacy, the three exposures, your organization's conditions, and your own behavioral markers. Every score carries its scoring version, so you know exactly how it was computed.
Why is it free?
Every completed battery grows the calibration dataset. You get your profile; the instrument gets better; the numbers get published. That's the trade, stated plainly.
Can my organization use this?
This version measures individuals. Team and organization cohort versions — aggregate-only, minimum group sizes — come after the individual instrument proves itself. If you want the organizational conversation now, that's the consulting door.
