Skill Review Overview for Learners

To rate your Skills with Skill Review, your organization must enable Skill Review in Degreed. For more information, contact your manager or your Degreed representative.

Skill Review is an adaptive questionnaire built on Bayesian inference, a well-accepted methodology in academic research. Behind the scenes, there are over 100 questions that can be presented to you based on your responses to previous questions.

The science behind the questions is built on our 8-level framework. See Skill Level Descriptions for Skill Ratings for more information on Skill Levels. The answers to the questions narrow down the possible outcomes, one question at a time, until the result is clear.

Skill Review Stages

The Skill Review process consists of four stages:

Introduction

This step begins Skill Review and provides you with an overview of the Skill Review process.

Invite Endorser

You can select an endorser for your Skill Review that is a member of your organization.

Your organization can disable the Invite Endorser step for Skill Reviews. Also, organizations can specify if the Invite Endorser step is optional or required. You might not be able to Skip the endorsement step if it is required by your organization.

Your endorser can see all of the responses that you provide in the Skill Review Questionnaire and the final result of your Skill Review.

For more details on Skill Review endorsement, see Skill Review Endorsement.

Questionnaire

The questionnaire contains all the questions you are required to answer to complete the Skill Review process. Some questions prompt you to enter additional information about your response to expand on your answer.

Results

After you complete all of the questions, you receive your results and are provided your Skill Level (see Skill Level Descriptions for Skill Ratings for more detailed information). The Breakdown section describes the level numbers and criteria for the scores in each area of the Skill Review that combine to assess your overall Skill Review score.
