Constraints

Six Skill Areas

Rate 1-5 on each:

  • Seeing: Can you spot spacing inconsistencies, hierarchy issues, and craft details without being told?
  • Comparing: Can you rank solutions and explain the ranking beyond personal preference?
  • Deconstructing: Can you reverse-engineer the constraints and decisions behind a design?
  • Collecting: Do you have an organized, principle-tagged reference library you can search in 60 seconds?
  • Articulating: Can you explain design decisions without saying "it feels right"?
  • Applying: Does your first design instinct usually turn out to be correct?

Interpreting Results

  • Lowest score = where to focus. Don't improve everything at once.
  • High Seeing + Low Articulating = good instincts, can't convince anyone. Focus on vocabulary.
  • High Collecting + Low Applying = great references, own work doesn't match. Focus on deconstruction.
  • Even scores across the board (all 2s or 3s) = the plateau. Go deep in any one area.
  • MUST retake every 3 months. Taste develops too slowly to notice daily.

Anti-Patterns

  • Overrating yourself on every dimension
  • Skipping the assessment and jumping straight to exercises
  • Focusing only on strengths instead of weaknesses
