The learning-type assessment¶
The assessment is 12 questions about how you tend to approach new material. Each question takes 5-10 seconds to answer; the whole test runs under two minutes.
How it works¶
Each question shows 3-4 possible answers. Most questions are single-select (radio buttons — pick one). A few are multi-select (checkboxes — pick everything that applies). The app shows you which type each question is.
Behind each answer sits a weight: how much picking it tilts you toward one of the six learning methods (deductive, inductive, error-based, dialogic, contextual, AI-adaptive). The calculator sums those weights, normalises by question count, and produces a 6-method profile.
The six methods at a glance¶
| Method | Strength |
|---|---|
| Deductive | Rules first, examples after — theory-driven |
| Inductive | Examples first, derive the rule — pattern-driven |
| Error-based | Provoke mistakes, learn from them — friction-driven |
| Dialogic | Low-stress conversation — exchange-driven |
| Contextual | Real-world scenarios — situation-driven |
| AI-adaptive | The AI picks per turn — meta-driven |
Your profile¶
After the last question you see a radar chart: six axes, each method's weight as a point on its axis. The shape tells you a lot:
- A clear point sticking out far = one dominant method. The app will lean on that method by default.
- A round shape = balanced learner. The app starts with the "deductive" default but is more willing to switch methods between sessions.
- A flat shape at low values = you didn't pick strong preferences. That's fine; the AI-adaptive method works especially well here.
The dominant method (highest weight, alphabetical tie-break) is shown explicitly above the chart.
Multi-select questions¶
When a question allows multiple answers, the weight of each pick is divided by how many you picked. Choosing two answers contributes the same total weight as choosing one — so you can't game the test by always picking everything.
Retaking the assessment¶
Your view of how you learn changes over time. The Assessment
page is always reachable from the Dashboard's "Retake
assessment" link. Re-evaluating bumps your profile's version
field and overwrites the previous weights; the AI's behaviour
changes from the next session onwards.
Skipping the assessment¶
If you skip the test, the app uses deductive as the default method and you'll still get useful sessions. Take the assessment when you're ready — there's no penalty for delaying.
