Scotoma helps you see yours. An assessment that maps how you think about AI - not what you know about it.
Organizations are deploying AI faster than they understand it. Not because people are reckless - because everyone has incomplete mental models.
The engineer sees AI as a tool. The strategist sees a competitive wedge. The operations lead sees risk. They're all partly right and partly blind.
Traditional training doesn't fix this. You can teach someone what AI is, but that doesn't change how they think about it. Mental models are deeper than knowledge.
Scotoma makes mental models visible. Once you see your blind spot, you can address it.
Scotoma identifies how people think about AI - their implicit assumptions, gut reactions, and blind spots. It is evidence-informed and developed as an independent reflective instrument, with validation work treated as an ongoing requirement.
The assessment surfaces patterns in how you relate to AI across:
The six profiles are interpretive orientation patterns for reflection and team discussion, not stable personality types or validated diagnostic categories.
Evidence posture: Scotoma should be read as an evidence-informed reflective assessment. Claims about reliability, construct validity, and behavioral prediction require empirical validation before being used diagnostically.
Scotoma was created by Patryk Jarmakowicz, a PhD candidate studying how people develop expertise in AI-augmented work.
The project started as an independent academic instrument and is being shaped into a practical team assessment as more people ask how to use it in their own work contexts.
Scotoma is an independent project developed by Patryk. It draws on his doctoral research interests and the wider literature on expertise, automation, and AI-augmented work.
Every profile, risk-signal pattern, and report insight is designed to make response patterns discussable without overstating what the instrument can prove.
Scoring is deterministic and explainable. We don't use LLMs to grade assessments. You can trace your results.
Your data is yours. Individual responses are not shared with teams. Aggregates are used only where privacy thresholds are met.
Knowing your blind spot is step one. Scotoma provides reflection prompts, follow-up checks, and workshop materials to help address it.
