        "measures": "Two things, scored separately. Whether you can match a collaboration tool or skill to the setting it actually fits — in-person, hybrid, or virtual — including reading what a setting hides or reveals and what a setting is actually built for. And whether you can trace a real, specific link between a technology change and how a job, role, or career works today or could work in the future, covering both halves of that: what has already changed, and what could still change.",
        "excludes": "This is not a measure of how any one employer's software works, and it does not score comfort with a specific app. It is not a prediction of which jobs will or will not exist later — no test can see that far, and it never claims to. It does not test typing speed, meeting etiquette, or how someone actually behaves in a live video call; it tests whether the reasoning about tool-to-setting fit and technology-to-career effect is sound.",

That makes it a curriculum-aligned self-assessment, not an accredited or proctored exam, and not a credential to submit to an employer. Reading level is set for grade 6-8."

If it's collaboration tools and settings, practice naming which tool or habit actually fits in-person, hybrid, and virtual settings rather than picking whichever is most familiar.
