Where You Stand
Rate yourself on seven dimensions of cognitive load when working with AI. Be honest — this is a baseline, not a test.
What kind of task were you working on?
Think of a recent AI-assisted session. Select the closest match.
Rate each dimension (1–10)
1 = very low load, 10 = overwhelming load. Slide to your honest assessment.
How complex was the task itself, independent of AI involvement?
How often did you switch between the AI conversation and your own work?
How much uncertainty did you have about whether the AI’s output was correct?
How much effort did you spend verifying, testing, or checking the AI’s output?
How much did the AI tool’s interface or behavior slow you down?
How much mental work did you successfully delegate to the AI?
How iterative and back-and-forth was the conversation with the AI?
