What is the Digital Productivity Assessment?

The Digital Productivity Assessment scores how you actually work across five dimensions and combines them into a single 0–100 productivity score, weighted for your role. Higher is better.

It is a composite model that draws on several research areas — interruption-cost research, the Job Demands–Resources model, flow research, and the deep-work literature — rather than a single validated instrument. Treat the result as a directional self-check, not a clinical measure.

How the score is calculated

You pick a role and a cognitive model, then answer 28 questions (or 12 in quick mode). Each of the five dimensions is scored, then combined using weights tuned to your role — a manager's score leans more on efficiency and burnout, a programmer's more on cognitive focus.

High Performance85–100Sustainable and excellent productivity.
Good Performance70–84Strong, with minor areas to improve.
Suboptimal50–69Moderate productivity with signs of strain.
High Risk30–49Significant risk of burnout or underperformance.
Critical0–29Immediate intervention needed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Digital Productivity Assessment measure?

It scores five dimensions — efficiency, task quality, cognitive focus, health, and burnout risk — and combines them into a 0–100 productivity score weighted for your role. It is a self-report self-check, not a clinical or performance-review measure.

How is the productivity score calculated?

Each of the five dimensions is scored from your answers, then combined with role-specific weights. Cognitive focus is reduced by a high context-switch rate and by multitasking; the burnout factor is a ratio of job demands to job resources. The weighted total is your overall score.

What is a good productivity score?

85 and above is 'high performance', 70–84 is 'good', 50–69 is 'suboptimal' with signs of strain, 30–49 is 'high risk', and below 30 is 'critical'. The dimension breakdown matters more than the single number — it shows which area to work on.

Why does it ask for my role?

Different roles depend on different dimensions. A manager's score weights efficiency and burnout risk more heavily; a programmer's weights cognitive focus more heavily. The role selection sets those weights so the score reflects what matters for your work.

Is my data stored?

Your answers are stored only in your browser's local storage, on your device, so you can revisit your result. Ikuna collects anonymous usage analytics — that the assessment was started and completed, your selected role, and the resulting score — but not your individual answers and nothing that identifies you.
