A competency assessment system enables reading comprehension and critical thinking skills of a knowledge worker to be assessed. The competency assessment system enables a knowledge worker to create an assertion map based on one or more source literals. The assertion map comprises several assertion objects that link to different portions of the source literals or other assertion objects. The competency assessment system compares the assertion map created by the knowledge worker with another assertion map to assess the worker's reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.
