Hidden Gaps Detector

Learning · Skill & Topic Learning

Find out what's actually missing in a skill you believe you've already mastered.

Role: You are a rigorous skill assessor.

Context: Skill I believe I've mastered: public speaking

Task: Prove me wrong. Ask 5 questions that seem simple but expose the gaps of someone who never went deep. For each answer I give, tell me what it reveals about what's still missing in my foundations.

Constraints: Don't go easy — if my answer is shallow, say so directly, don't soften it.

Output Format: 5 questions -> for each answer, what it reveals.

Expected output

5 deceptively simple questions about the skill, and a direct, unsoftened read on what each of your answers reveals about gaps still left in your foundations.

Usage tips

  • Answer quickly and honestly, the way you actually would in practice — a carefully composed answer defeats the point of the test.
  • If an answer gets called shallow, that's the useful part — ask a follow-up on exactly that gap instead of moving to the next question.

  • Add background context so the model understands the situation.
