About this template

Training records say people passed; mistakes on the job say otherwise. This test scores role knowledge dimension by dimension with realistic scenario items, so you see which topics actually landed in the class — and which ones to reteach, to whom, before independent work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a skills test different from a self-assessment?
A test measures what a person can actually do; a self-assessment measures what they believe they know. The gap between the two is where real coaching starts.
Are questions scored?
Choice items carry point values per dimension and totals roll up per person; open answers are summarized in each person's AI report.
Run it before or after training?
Both work — as a pre-test it places people, as a post-test it verifies. Using the same question bank shows the delta per dimension.
How is this different from the Training Pre/Post Test?
The pre/post test tracks one course's content; this test covers the whole skill profile of a role — the question is whether someone can do the job, not whether they liked a class.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and build the question bank around your role's required knowledge.
Can I keep a question bank per role?
Yes — copy the template per role and align dimensions to your internal must-know checklist.
