Leading with AI Assessment: Sample Questions | Bryq
Growing and applying own AI skills
Enabling the team to use AI
Guiding people through the change
Rethinking how the team works
Keeping quality and ownership
These are five sample questions from Bryq's Leading with AI assessment, a soft skills test for hiring and developing managers and leaders who work with AI. The full assessment covers five skills: growing and applying own AI skills, enabling the team to use AI, guiding people through the change, rethinking how the team works, and keeping quality and ownership. Each question describes a realistic workplace situation involving AI and asks which action would be most effective, with four options to choose from.
Growing and applying own AI skills
Intermediate
Question
You manage the events team at a hotel chain. You asked the AI assistant to draft a brochure for this year's wedding packages. Its draft is polished but describes features your hotels don't offer, such as beach venues. The brochure goes to print in ten days, and couples choose their package from it for the whole year. Your sales team has already shared an early version with two couples.
Which of these actions would be the most effective?
Select your answer
Give the AI assistant your real venues, prices, package details, asking it to redraft the brochure.
Proofread the AI assistant's brochure closely for spelling mistakes before it goes to the printer.
Ask the AI assistant to remove any features it is unsure about from the wedding brochure draft.
Write the whole brochure yourself, since the AI assistant made up features your hotels lack.
WHY IS THIS THE CORRECT ANSWER
The AI assistant can only describe your packages accurately once it has the real details; proofreading or asking what it is unsure of won't catch invented features.
Enabling the team to use AI
Intermediate
Question
You are the regional manager for a chain of garden centres. One store manager uses the AI assistant to draft weekly staff rotas and has cut planning time in half. Other store managers have heard about it, but their stores differ in size and opening hours. Spring, the busiest season, starts in six weeks, and rota mistakes leave stores short of staff at weekends.
Which of these actions would be the most effective?
Select your answer
Have the store manager show the others their AI assistant approach, adapted to each store.
Send every store the manager's AI assistant rota setup, asking them to use it exactly as it is.
Leave each store manager to decide whether the AI assistant is worth trying for their rotas.
Have the AI assistant write a guide to its own rota setup for the other store managers.
WHY IS THIS THE CORRECT ANSWER
Spreading a working practice from person to person, adapted to each store's needs, gets the benefit across the chain without copying a setup that may not fit.
Guiding people through the change
Intermediate
Question
You manage the bookings team at a travel agency. A senior agent says the AI assistant gets visa rules wrong for some countries but cannot point to a specific error. Other agents rely on its visa summaries every day. A wrong visa answer can leave a customer stranded at the airport. The summer booking rush starts next week, when the team handles twice the usual volume.
Which of these actions would be the most effective?
Select your answer
Check the AI assistant's recent visa summaries with the senior agent against official government sources.
Ask the senior agent to bring you a clear example before you look into the visa summaries.
Ask the AI assistant whether its visa summaries are up to date for every single country.
Pair the senior agent with a colleague who gets good visa summaries from the AI assistant.
WHY IS THIS THE CORRECT ANSWER
A doubt about AI results can be right before anyone proves it, so checking real cases with the person who raised it settles the question and keeps them engaged.
Rethinking how the team works
Intermediate
Question
You manage the client services team at an architecture practice. The AI assistant now drafts planning application forms, saving each coordinator about five hours a week. Clients have complained that questions about their projects take days to answer, and two have threatened to leave. Your director asks how the team will use the time saved over the next quarter. Coordinators know each client's projects well.
Which of these actions would be the most effective?
Select your answer
Plan with the coordinators to spend the AI assistant's saved hours on faster client replies.
Have the AI assistant draft more application forms in advance, using all the hours it saves.
Let each coordinator spend the hours the AI assistant saves however they think is best.
Reduce each coordinator's working hours by the time the AI assistant now saves on application forms.
WHY IS THIS THE CORRECT ANSWER
Time freed by AI adds value only when it goes to work that matters, here, the slow client replies, rather than to more output or to no plan at all.
Keeping quality and ownership
Intermediate
Question
You manage a team of recruiters at a staffing agency. The AI assistant now ranks applicants for each vacancy, and recruiters send its top five to clients. Last month a client asked why a strong applicant they knew was missing, and the recruiter said the AI assistant had ranked them low. Each client fills several roles a month through your team. Clients pay a fee for each successful hire.
Which of these actions would be the most effective?
Select your answer
Make clear each recruiter owns the shortlist, using the AI assistant's ranking as one input.
Ask the AI assistant to explain its ranking for each vacancy before recruiters send shortlists.
Have a second recruiter approve every shortlist the AI assistant produces before it is sent.
Tell the client the AI assistant ranks applicants consistently, so every shortlist it makes is fair.
