1. What is the primary purpose of AI-powered skills mapping in an organizational context?

   1. To eliminate the need for resumes during external hiring
   2. To automatically assign employees to new roles without manager input
   3. To discover and document employee competencies from work outputs
   4. To replace annual performance reviews with automated reports

2. Which of the following is an example of a work artifact that AI could analyze for skills surfacing?

   1. Company holiday schedules
   2. Employee attendance records
   3. Personal social media activity
   4. Project deliverables and contributions

3. Internal mobility primarily refers to which of the following?

   1. Promoting employees based solely on tenure
   2. Transferring employees to external partner companies
   3. Movement of employees between roles or teams within the organization
   4. Relocating employees to different geographic offices

4. Why is obtaining employee consent essential when implementing AI skills mapping?

   1. It is required by law in all jurisdictions
   2. It prevents competitors from accessing the data
   3. It ensures legal protection against discrimination lawsuits
   4. Employees must agree to have their work artifacts analyzed to surface skills

5. What is the benefit of identifying skill gaps through AI analysis?

   1. It replaces the need for manager feedback
   2. It guarantees employees will be hired for desired roles
   3. It enables targeted development planning for employees
   4. It automatically promotes underperforming employees

6. A manager wants to use AI to completely automate internal mobility decisions, removing human judgment entirely. Which limitation of AI is most relevant to this scenario?

   1. AI cannot match employees to opportunities accurately
   2. AI cannot analyze large volumes of work artifacts
   3. AI cannot maintain employee data securely
   4. AI cannot substitute for relationship-building that drives internal mobility

7. How does AI skills mapping differ fundamentally from traditional skills inventories maintained in HR systems?

   1. AI mapping does not require any technology infrastructure
   2. Traditional inventories are more accurate than AI analysis
   3. AI surfaces skills employees actually demonstrated, not just self-reported or formally listed skills
   4. AI mapping requires less data than traditional inventories

8. An employee notices AI has surfaced a skill they don't want associated with their professional profile. What should the system allow the employee to do?

   1. Wait for their manager to request changes
   2. Only accept what AI has surfaced without modification
   3. Appeal only if the skill is factually incorrect
   4. Request removal or suppression of that skill from their profile

9. Which statement best reflects the relationship between AI capabilities and relationship-building in internal mobility?

   1. AI analysis of communication patterns reveals all relationship dynamics
   2. AI can determine which teams have the best collaboration culture
   3. AI can surface skills, but relationship-building must still happen through human interaction
   4. AI can identify which employees have the strongest workplace relationships

10. What is the most significant risk when AI skills mapping is implemented without employee consent mechanisms?

    1. The system will generate inaccurate skill assessments
    2. Employees may feel surveilled and lose trust in the organization
    3. The technology will fail to integrate with existing systems
    4. HR will lose access to valuable talent data

11. How should organizations integrate AI skills mapping with employee development planning?

    1. Ignore AI output and rely solely on manager assessments
    2. Use AI only for executive-level development
    3. Use AI-identified gaps to create personalized learning paths
    4. Replace all development planning with AI recommendations

12. What caution should organizations exercise when relying heavily on AI for internal mobility decisions?

    1. AI might decrease employee engagement
    2. AI might reveal too few skills about employees
    3. AI decisions could systematically favor certain demographic groups
    4. Employees might become overqualified for their roles

13. How can AI skills mapping contribute to succession planning?

    1. By identifying employees with latent skills that could prepare them for leadership roles
    2. By ensuring every employee becomes ready for management
    3. By automatically replacing all senior leaders with AI-recommended successors
    4. By eliminating the need for leadership assessments

14. In AI skills mapping, what specific aspect should employees maintain ultimate control over?

    1. Which competitors can access their profile
    2. What technical algorithm the system uses
    3. Which manager evaluates their skill assessment
    4. Whether any skill data is collected about them at all

15. Why might AI-identified skill gaps differ from gaps employees identify through self-assessment?

    1. AI analyzes actual demonstrated skills while self-assessment reflects perceived abilities
    2. Self-assessments are always more accurate than AI analysis
    3. AI only analyzes skills from the past year
    4. AI cannot identify gaps for contract employees
