This assessment measures the 7 competencies
Each dimension is a key skill or competency that employers look for in candidates.
Empathy & User Research
The ability to understand and connect with users' needs, emotions, and experiences through observation, interviews, and research methods. This includes skill in gathering user insights, identifying pain points, and developing deep empathy for target audiences to inform design solutions that truly address real human needs.
Problem Definition & Framing
The capacity to synthesize research insights into clear problem statements, reframe challenges from multiple perspectives, identify root causes rather than symptoms, and define problems in human-centered ways that open up solution possibilities rather than constraining them.
Ideation & Creative Thinking
The skill to generate diverse and innovative solution ideas, use creative thinking techniques effectively, build upon others' ideas collaboratively, suspend judgment during brainstorming, and produce both quantity and quality of creative concepts that address defined user needs.
Prototyping & Experimentation
The ability to quickly create tangible representations of ideas, select appropriate prototyping methods for different purposes, test concepts early and often, learn from failures constructively, and iterate designs based on user feedback and testing results.
Testing & Validation
The capacity to design meaningful user tests, gather actionable feedback effectively, interpret user responses objectively, distinguish between user preferences and actual needs, and use testing insights to refine and improve design solutions systematically.
Iteration & Implementation
The skill to embrace iterative design processes, make decisions about when to pivot or persevere, balance user needs with business constraints, and translate validated concepts into implementable solutions while maintaining user-centered focus throughout development.
Collaborative Mindset & Process Management
The ability to facilitate collaborative design sessions, manage interdisciplinary team dynamics, navigate different perspectives constructively, and maintain focus on human-centered outcomes while coordinating diverse stakeholders throughout the design thinking process.
