IASSC’s use of Blooms Taxonomy is intended to offer a simple, common, universal aid to

Providers and Exam Candidates. While we encourage you to understand the Blooms taxonomy
model and our Bodies of Knowledge, we also urge you not to get “stuck” in overanalyzing the
model. Instead, consider it in a practical sense. IASSC Certified Black Belt Exams target a
cognitive level up to Create. The IASSC Certified Green Belt Exams target a cognitive level up to
Evaluate. The IASSC Certified Yellow Belt Exams target a cognitive level up to Analyze. In other
words, a greater depth of knowledge is required of a Black Belt than of a Green Belt, while a
greater depth of knowledge is required of a Green Belt than a Yellow Belt.
