Skill up with skill assessments and course tools

What are Pluralsight skill assessments? They’re a simple way to quickly measure a tech skill.

After taking a skill assessment, you’ll get both a numeric score and a level of novice, proficient, or expert in a skill area—that’s your Skill IQ. You can even share your Skill IQ on social media, Stack Overflow, and LinkedIn.

After you get your Skill IQ, Pluralsight will give you a personalized skill analysis and recommendations on what courses to take to close your skill gaps.
