Design & UX

The skills a Design & UX assessment can cover, how the assessment runs, and a sample question to try.

Skills covered

Candidates declare the skills they have, and each sitting is generated for their target role and those skills. These are skills from this field that an assessment can cover.

  • UI Design
  • UX Research
  • Interaction Design
  • Design Systems
  • Wireframing
  • Prototyping
  • Figma
  • Usability Testing
  • Information Architecture
  • Accessibility Design

Sample question

Most participants in a usability test fail to find the same setting. What does this most likely tell you?

  1. AThe participants needed more training before the test
  2. BUsability tests with a small group are never useful
  3. CThe setting is hard to discover, so its placement or labelling needs work
  4. DThe interface needs brighter colours
Show the answer

C. The setting is hard to discover, so its placement or labelling needs work

When several people hit the same obstacle, the design is the common factor. Small tests are good at surfacing exactly this kind of repeated problem.

A sample only. Real questions are generated fresh for each sitting, so this exact question will not appear.
