The quiz format works better than a job-title lookup for one simple reason: it asks about what you actually do. Whether AI will affect your role depends far more on the specific composition of your daily tasks than on the label attached to your position. A quiz that captures your real task mix, your physical presence requirements, your relational work, and your AI literacy produces a result that means something for your specific situation.
The Fossil Score quiz takes four minutes and produces a score from 0 to 100, a species classification that places you on the risk spectrum, and concrete recommendations tailored to your score range. Workers who score under 40 need different advice from those who score over 70, and the quiz output reflects that.

The quiz asks targeted questions about your actual daily work: the types of tasks you perform, how routine they are, whether your job requires physical presence, how much of your value comes from trusted relationships, and whether you already use AI tools. Each answer feeds into a scoring model that produces your Fossil Score and species classification.
Job title lookups produce average risk scores for occupation categories. They cannot account for the fact that a junior accountant doing mostly data entry has a very different risk profile from a senior accountant spending most of their time on client advisory work. A quiz that asks about your actual tasks produces a result that reflects your real situation.
Approximately four minutes for most people. The quiz is designed to be fast without sacrificing accuracy on the dimensions that matter most. You do not need to create an account or provide any personal information beyond what you choose to share about your work situation.
You receive your Fossil Score from 0 to 100, your species classification, a breakdown of which parts of your work are most exposed versus most protected, and specific recommendations for what to do next based on your score range.
The quiz is as accurate as the information you provide about your actual tasks. The scoring model is built on current research about which task types are most vulnerable to AI automation and which have structural protections. For most workers the result confirms and calibrates intuitions they already had about their risk level.
