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.

Such competency tests consist of questions about specific situations in your scientific work in which you have to make decisions or take actions. We arranged the questions among experts from the staff of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Staff Development and external experts. We tested them on a selected group of employees and verified them

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. Whether this is actually artificial intelligence or just clever word generators is, of course, debatable. However, the progress with which ChatGPT is answering more and more complicated questions and solving more and more difficult problems gives food for thought.
