Start the 21st Century Life Skills Assessment · Class 4 ➜⚙️ How it works
In the Class 4 paper, your child meets 36 short questions — real situations, best-answer checks and “that’s me” questions. Each one lands in one of four skill areas:
How it works
Each area holds four skills — 16 in all, each scored 0 to 100. The strongest area becomes your child's strongest area, named in plain words.

21st Century Life Skills Assessment — skills profile · Class 4 sample
Stylised preview · scales run amber → green, never red · no ranks, no labels
Certificate included · every one carries a verification code
Every parameter we measure
Class 4 answers its own questions, but the map never changes — four areas, sixteen skills:
How the thinking happens
How they work with people
How they handle themselves
How smartly they live online
🎯 Why this class
Initiative starts a task and Persistence & Grit finishes it — the report scores them apart, so you know which one needs the reminder.
Collaboration & Teamwork and Communication get their own scores, so you see how your nine-year-old works with others, not only alone.
Curiosity & Learning to Learn is measured on its own — useful when a child asks about everything and finishes nothing.
Your child walks away with: their strongest of the four skill areas named in plain words, all 16 skills on one amber-to-green scale, one strength and one focus area, six small growth activities sized for Class 4, a page for you and one for the teacher — and a certificate with a verification code.
🗓️ When & why
Does this sound familiar?
👨👩👧A parent
The group project is due tomorrow and they've done all of it alone — because 'nobody listens to me'.Collaboration and communication get their own scores. You'll see whether it's a teamwork gap or a leadership strength in the wrong outfit — and what to try at home.
🧑🏫A counsellor / teacher
Pairs are set for the science model — and two children have already swapped partners twice.Class-wide teamwork and flexibility scores tell you which pairings will hold and which children need a role, not a new partner.
🧒Your child
Reads the whole comic in one sitting, quits the maths worksheet at question two.Persistence and initiative are measured separately from ability. The report shows where the sticking-with-it slips — and the five-minute habit that builds it.
The right moments
Class 4 is when group dynamics start to sting — the teamwork and empathy scores show how your child is handling it.
If they can't start or stick with work without you beside them, initiative and grit are the scores to watch.
An early baseline turns the whole year into the growth plan.
Why now, not later: Class 4 is when children first work without you beside them. Know which skill is ready now, and this year's homework becomes the practice.
Once a year is enough. Your child is compared only with their own last score — never with another child.

🤔 Parents ask
36, in four short sections — how you think, you and people, you and yourself, your digital world. They are picture scenarios, best-answer checks and “that’s me” questions. The first 9 are free with no card; the rest unlock with the full assessment.
There is a friendly timer of about 27 minutes (45 seconds a question) that pauses between sections. If it runs out the assessment does not stop — your child just gets a gentle “wrap up” nudge.
Sit nearby for the first few. Every question has a picture scene and a tap-to-hear button that reads it aloud, and the answers are simple “that’s me” choices. Read it together if needed — but let your child pick the answer.
No wrong answers, and no marks or ranks. The report gives a skills strongest skill area named in plain words, an overall level from Emerging to Advanced, and a 16-skill wheel — a growth snapshot, not a grade.
Your archetype and overall level, the 21st Century Life Skills & Learning Wheel across 4 areas and 16 skills, a close-up of each skill, a growth plan of activities, a short note each for parents and teachers, and a downloadable PDF with a certificate.
Once a year. The app keeps one result per class year; take it again next year and the report adds a skills-journey chart showing what has changed.
