This Personal Finance Literacy Self-Assessment helps you identify your strengths and knowledge gaps across critical areas of money management—from investment fundamentals to retirement planning and tax strategy.

Who Should Take This Assessment?

This self-test is designed for anyone looking to:

What You'll Discover

The assessment covers four essential pillars of financial literacy:

2. Retirement Planning Awareness — evaluating your grasp of 401(k)s, IRAs, compound interest and long-term saving strategies
3. Tax Strategy Understanding — assessing knowledge of deductions, credits, tax-advantaged accounts and basic tax planning
