Taking a Skill IQ Discovery assessment

  • Updated
  • Most users with a Pluralsight account have access to Skill IQ Discovery assessments. While plan admins can't assign Skill IQ Discovery assessments to users on group plans, they can invite users to get their Skill IQ Discovery score.

    See Creating a channel and adding content to learn how to add a Skill IQ Discovery assessment to a channel.

    Note: Skill IQ Discovery assessments are available on a web browser, on the Pluralsight mobile app for iOS and Android devices, or on the MacOS desktop app. Visit Apps and downloads page (opens in new tab) to download the app.

    Skill IQ Discovery page

    Think of the Skill IQ Discovery page (opens in new tab) as your home base for everything Skill IQ Discovery. This page contains three main sections:

    • Discover
      Here you can browse by popular topics, search for specific assessments, explore new areas of technology, and find new Skill IQ Discovery assessments to take. 
    • My Skills
      On this tab, you’ll find your in-progress Skill IQ Discovery assessments, current Skill IQ Discovery levels, and available retakes all in one place. Retired assessments won’t appear in My Skills, but can be viewed in your profile (opens in new tab).
    • Focused Learning
      Go here to close your skill gaps with tailored learning recommendations based on the Skill IQ Discovery assessments you’ve completed in the last 12 months. Learning recommendations are listed by assessment and further organized by skill gaps. Each skill gap contains links to video clips addressing that particular skill gap. There are some instances when you may not receive learning recommendations.
