About the Assessment

Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of everyday work across many industries. This assessment helps individuals understand their current level of AI readiness and identify practical next steps for learning and skills development. 

Under the National AI Impact Programme, the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) introduced three AI user archetypes: AI Aware, AI Literate, and AI Fluent to describe progressive levels of AI understanding in the workforce. 

Drawing on this national reference and synthesising capability expectations from the relevant SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) Skills Framework for Infocomm Technology, this assessment translates these archetypes into four practical capability dimensions to help learners better understand their current strengths and learning opportunities.

Levels And Domains

Your overall score is normalised on a 0–100 scale. Levels are interpreted as: Yet to be AI Aware (0–18.5), AI Aware (18.6-40.5), AI Literate (40.6–79.5), and AI Fluent (79.6–100).

Overall result 

Score & level 

You will receive an overall score (0–100) and your corresponding AI user archetype level: AI Aware, AI Literate, or AI Fluent.

Breakdown 

Strengths across key domains 

The report includes a domain-level breakdown (in %) across the four assessment dimensions, so you can quickly see what you are doing well and where to focus next.

Actionable guidance 

Feedback & next steps 

You will receive brief feedback on your open-ended questions to support improvement. The report also includes a simple summary chart and suggested SkillsFuture courses.

Using Your Results

A simple way to turn assessment results into practical action.

  1. Start with your work goals 

Think about what you want to improve at work, then identify where AI can support those goals in a safe and practical way.

  1. Focus on the biggest gaps first 

Strengthen the domains that matter most for your role to build a solid foundation before moving to advanced use cases.

  1. Choose suitable courses 

Use recommended SkillsFuture options as a guide, and track progress over time as your responsibilities evolve.

FAQ 

Quick answers on purpose, interpretation, and how to use the results.

How long does it take?

Most participants complete the assessment in about 10–20 minutes. It is designed to be short and accessible while still providing useful insights.

Is this a certification exam?

No. This is a screening assessment intended to support learning and course recommendations. It is not a formal certification of competency.

How should I interpret the results?

Use the results as a starting point. Consider your role and work context, then focus on the recommended learning areas that best support your goals.

Can teams and organisations use this?

Yes. Aggregated insights can support role-based training plans and help structure an organisation’s learning roadmap. Organisations interested in exploring team-based assessments may contact us at skills.assessment@SingaporeTech.edu.sg.

Behind the Assessment

How the assessment was designed and validated.


The AI capability assessment tool was developed as a light touch, time efficient screening instrument to support Singapore's national AI upskilling efforts. Its primary purpose is not certification, but rapid sense making: to help individuals understand their current level of AI capability and to guide them towards appropriate, differentiated training pathways. 

The design was informed by close consultation with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and anchored to relevant Skills Framework references, ensuring coherence with national workforce development priorities. The tool is designed to minimise time burden, and even short-answer responses are expected to be concise, it should be accessible to the general public, and yet still yield meaningful distinctions in capability that could inform course recommendations. 

To achieve this balance, the assessment was intentionally designed around everyday and work relevant scenarios, rather than technical knowledge tests. This approach reflects a core design principle: for broad based AI upskilling, what matters first is how people understand, use, and judge AI in context, not whether they can describe algorithms or architectures. The tool also went through multiple iterations, including validation with individuals across different levels of AI proficiency. Feedback from these pilots was used to refine scenario framing, calibrate difficulty, and improve the clarity and discrimination of assessment items.


We welcome feedback from users and partners as the assessment continues to evolve. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in everyday work and life, improving how people understand and use AI responsibly will remain an ongoing effort.
