The Incompetence Audit

Twelve questions about the last three months. You will get the archetype you are dealing with, how severe the pattern is, and an honest answer about where to start.

This runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, nothing is saved, and no address is requested. If your employer monitors your traffic, they will see that you loaded this page and nothing more.

Answer for the last three months, not the worst week you can remember. The instrument is only useful if you are honest about the average.

01Routine technical decisions stall because your manager cannot evaluate the options.

02You explain the same fundamental concept to them more than once a quarter.

03You leave meetings genuinely unsure what was decided.

04Priorities are announced, revised, and quietly withdrawn without anyone saying so.

05A problem everyone on the team can name has gone unaddressed for months.

06Hard conversations are deferred to “next quarter” and then not held.

07Work you own is reviewed at a level of detail that adds nothing to it.

08You are asked to copy them on more than the work actually requires.

09New direction arrives faster than anything can be finished.

10Ideas reach you urgent and unscoped, with no sequence attached.

11Decisions only they can make sit waiting on someone who is not there.

12You have acted without approval because waiting was costing more than deciding.
