Award-winning author Dan Pontefract invites you to take the Age Awareness Personal Assessment—a free 10-minute reflection that measures how you think, act, and lead across generations at work.

How Age-Ready Are You?

Based on research from The Future of Work Is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce, this assessment gauges your attitudes about your own age, your perceptions of others, and your openness to learning, mentoring, and adapting as careers lengthen.

Through fifteen short questions, you’ll explore how you view experience, inclusion, and your own future-readiness. When finished, you’ll receive a personalized report that places you within one of five Age Awareness categories—a snapshot of how you engage with age at work today, and what steps can move you forward.

You’ll receive one of five results:

  1. 🥇 Age Golden – You actively champion age diversity and model inclusion that turns experience into advantage.
  2. 🧠 Age Savvy – You value age diversity and are poised to strengthen your impact through deliberate action.
  3. ⚖️ Age Neutral – You’re balanced but not quite there—well-positioned to shift from awareness to action.
  4. 🚧 Age Issue – Signs of friction or bias are emerging; reflection and small shifts will create progress.
  5. 🔥 Age Crisis – A critical wake-up call that age bias is likely a part of your way of thinking.

Your results are confidential, your data secure, and your report will include practical insights for closing your Age Debt and unlocking your Experience Dividend.

Take ten minutes to see how age-aware you really are and receive your PDF results right away. Scroll down to begin your Age Awareness Personal Assessment.
