# Skills Assessments

*Assessments are a powerful way to identify knowledge gaps across your team and use Quinn to close them — either during onboarding or at any regular cadence (quarterly, bi-annually, etc.).*

## Two Types of Assessments

### Self-Assessments

Individuals rate themselves on a 0–5 scale across a defined list of skills.

- We can help generate or customize this skill list.
- Useful for understanding perceived vs actual competency across teams.
- Quinn surfaces trends and recommends training to address weak areas.

### Skill Checks (Knowledge Assessments)

A more traditional test format: individuals answer objective questions.

- Designed to evaluate actual knowledge and proficiency.
- Ideal for validating baseline knowledge or tracking progress over time.
- Quinn uses the results to suggest or auto-generate targeted training modules.
