Have you considered student discounts? I could see many long-term users post-graduation for seeking jobs.

@jleodaniel hey! Pluralsight IQ is completely free for anyone, anywhere.

@jleodaniel @lindsaybayuk I think he meant for your entire Pluralsight service. I'd be interested in this too, education is lifelong for us knowledge workers! ;)
Andrii Khakhariev
Thanks. Looks very interesting. Gonna try it for sure.
Lindsay Bayuk
@akhakhariev let us know what you think!

Congrats @lindsaybayuk

I signed up. It gave me 2 emails. 1 saying I have an account. The second saying there was a problem setting up the account. Also using the first email left me to their site without being logged into my new account.

Personally this doesn't even look appealing.

Pros:

None that I can think of

Cons:

Too difficult to login

Same issue. I even turned off all ad blockers and tried in incog mode, nada. I like Pluralsight, but this is pretty standard from my experience with them: a great idea with terrible UX.

Congrats you guys! This looks amazing. Can't wait to test my skilz

@gilbertglee @nwalkingshaw How is this different from the measure your skills you had previously?

@gilbertglee @ishu3101 We have expanded the capability. Not only the test taking experience but the analytics behind it has the topic level breakdown of each skill as well. Then Iris builds a personalized learning journey once you have completed the skill IQ to show you a path to becoming expert.

Good idea! Congrats.

Very cool, and love the dark design. Out of curiosity, is this the (an?) evolution of the Smarterer product or concept?
Lindsay Bayuk
@trisweb yeah it is the evolution of the Smarterer acquisition. Did you guys have your devs take some assessments?

Love the ability for people to measure their tech skills and get a sense for where they stand. Pluralsight IQ is only going to get better and smarter and be a tool to help technologists skill up more effectively!

The tests I took were looking like questions people hate to get on interviews: How does the prototype exactly work, will this exact code using this particular unused language feature result in an error, etc. During the React test I got asked questions about Webpack configuration keys!

Maybe I just took the wrong tests, let me know if there are any tests you'd deem fit for judging a candidate :-)

Pros:

It has ways to test your knowledge

Cons:

It doesn't test skills I'd consider useful or relevant

One more thing to use Pluralsight.

It may be interesting to have the quick skill assessment for brief measuring and the long version for more accurate measuring.

Good luck to you guys in adding new skill assessments.

Pros:

Excellent project!

Cons:

Not sure that tech skills can be measured by 10-20 questions.
