I've just completed the Figma Assessment and was disappointed by the number of default shortcut questions. I'm the type of guy who customizes shortcuts based on my full workflow in and out of Figma, and I've been using my own setup for years. I genuinely don't know what the defaults are anymore.
Shortcuts do improve efficiency, don't get me wrong, but they're easily remapped and memorized through repetition. They don't reflect actual proficiency with the tool.
These are the things that make a real difference in day-to-day work. Testing whether I remember that K is the default for the scale tool doesn't tell you much about whether I can build a scalable design system or hand off a file that doesn't make developers want to cry.
The assessment should focus on decision-making and system thinking, not muscle memory.
