Schools speak in scores. Parents speak in patterns. When your child's test results say 'fine' but you see daily struggles, something's missing. Learn to spot what assessment data hides and become your child's strongest advocate with data-smart parenting skills.
Your team doesn’t have a skills gap, they have a belief gap. Data literacy isn’t about skills, it’s about rewiring how people think. Discover why belief, not training, drives change.
Most organizations aren’t data-driven—they’re data-addicted. Discover why more dashboards, metrics, and storage aren’t helping you make better decisions and how to break the cycle that’s paralyzing your team.
This self-assessment is designed to help you evaluate your current capabilities in understanding, interpreting, and applying data in everyday decision-making. Through a series of targeted questions, you’ll gain insights into your strengths and identify areas for improvement in data literacy, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced data user, this assessment provides valuable feedback and practical recommendations to enhance your data-informed decision-making abilities.
Rate your typical approach to decision-making on a scale of 1-5 for each dimension:
