How to explore your competencies with our tools? Explore competencies with behavioral descriptions. Part 2

In the previous post, we described how to explore your competencies using behavioral descriptions. If you are a scientist, work in a scientific project or are employed as a research and teaching or research employee at a university, you can do this very quickly and it will only take you 20 minutes. If you haven’t already done so, click CHECK YOUR COMPETENCIES on the screen at the top right. If you’ve already completed our behavioral tests and have your diagnosis, you’ve received two codes.

How to explore your competencies with our tools? Explore competencies with behavioral descriptions. Part 1

In the previous post, we reminded you that you can examine your competencies with competency tests, which we called examining competencies with questions. If you are a scientist, work in a scientific project or are employed as a research and teaching or research employee at a university, you can do this very quickly and it will only take you 20 minutes. There is a second way of testing competencies – using behavioral descriptions. Sometimes this way is called behavioral testing. In this form, you will find statements about many professional and social situations, arranged on a scale from no competence

How to represent human labor and its competencies in the form of an organizational size system?

Following on from the considerations we presented a week ago in an interview with Prof. Richard Griffith on the pace at which human labor is being replaced by artificial intelligence, one can ask: how to theoretically represent cognitive processes in the human mind especially in the area of management and teamwork? The answer to this question is the research carried out for more than a dozen years by Olaf Flak, PhD. In numerous publications he has presented his research results concerning first the theoretical concepts of the representation of the work of the manager and the team, and then empirical

How soon will artificial intelligence replace human labor and what will happen then? Interview with Prof. Richard Griffith of the Institute for Cross Cultural Management of Florida Institute of Technology

For the past several months or so, as a result of the appearance of GPT language models in public access, we have seen a great acceleration in the replacement of human labor by artificial intelligence.

However, the progress with which ChatGPT is answering more and more complicated questions and solving more and more difficult problems gives food for thought. See more http://artificialmanagers.com/ That’s why we interviewed Prof. Richard Griffith of the Institute for Cross Cultural Management of Florida Institute of Technology about what the limitations
