AM I ACTUALLY GOOD AT USING AI?™

Using AI is easy. Using it well is something else.

This 15–20 minute simulation will not ask how good you think you are. It will test how you frame problems, provide context, interrogate AI, verify outputs, divide work between human and AI, and apply judgement when answers conflict.

BEFORE WE START

How good do you think you are at using AI?

This is not part of your score. We will compare your perception with what the simulation reveals.

CHALLENGE 1 — PROBLEM FRAMING

The bad request

Your CEO asks you to use AI to understand why customer complaints have increased and recommend what the company should do.

Which is the strongest way to begin?

CHALLENGE 2 — VERIFICATION

The impressive answer

AI produces a confident, polished analysis stating that complaints increased 37% because response times worsened after a staffing change. It cites two industry benchmarks and recommends adding three support agents.

What is the best next move?

Fluency is not evidence. The challenge is deciding what requires independent verification.
CHALLENGE 3 — ITERATION

The first-answer trap

You ask AI for a market-entry recommendation. The answer looks sensible but generic and does not surface meaningful trade-offs.

Which response shows the strongest AI practice?

CHALLENGE 4 — HUMAN-AI ROLE DESIGN

Who should do the thinking?

For each activity, choose the most appropriate role for AI.
CHALLENGE 5 — CONTEXT ENGINEERING

The missing context

You ask AI to “create a proposal for our new leadership programme.” It returns something polished but generic and unusable.

What is most likely missing?

CHALLENGE 6 — JUDGEMENT

The AI disagreement

AI Assistant A recommends entering Market A because growth is faster. AI Assistant B recommends Market B because margins and competitive intensity are better. Both arguments sound convincing.

What is the strongest response?

FINAL REFLECTION

How good do you think you are now?

You have just been tested on more than prompting. Rate your capability again before seeing the result.

YOUR AI CAPABILITY PROFILE

1. Your capability profile

2. Your biggest AI blind spot

3. What your answers suggest

4. Your personal AI skills development plan

5. The 7 habits of high-capability AI users

1. Frame before prompting.

Know the outcome or decision before you ask AI to help.

2. Give context, not just instructions.

Provide objectives, constraints, evidence, audience and definitions of success.

3. Don't confuse fluency with truth.

Confidence, polish and specificity are not evidence.

4. Interrogate the first answer.

Ask what was missed, what assumptions were made and what would change the conclusion.

5. Make AI expose its assumptions.

Strong users make the reasoning environment visible enough to challenge it.

6. Keep judgement where consequences matter.

Delegate processing without automatically delegating accountability.

7. Measure improvement, not AI usage.

The objective is not to use more AI. It is to become more capable because of it.

7. Your self-perception changed
