The AQ Assessment
Free · 4 minutes · no account

What is your AQ?

Twenty-six questions, four minutes. Six of them put real AI output in front of you and ask what is wrong with it, so you cannot talk your way up. You get a score from 1 to 10 and the one gap holding you there.

No jargon. Nothing to install. A score you can defend, not a certificate you can print.

Scored on accuracy, not on what you say about yourself

Most people overestimate by two levels
Step 1 of 4

What are you trying to get out of AI?

This changes what we measure you against and what your roadmap prioritises.

Step 2 of 4

What kind of work do you do?

Every question, scenario and roadmap step is written for the job you actually do.

Step 3 of 4

What do you think your AQ is?

One is barely touching AI. Ten is setting the standard for a whole function. There is no wrong answer here, but we will show you how close you were, and most people are not close.

Go with your gut. You get thirty seconds of ego before the questions start.

Question 1 of 20Scope

Answer honestly. There is no passing score. Twenty-six questions, about four minutes. Six are scored on accuracy.

What each AQ is worth

Roles requiring AI skills carry a 62% average wage premium (PwC Global AI Jobs Barometer, 2026). That is a market figure across job postings, not a promise about any individual outcome.

Think a friend would beat you?

Send them the test. It takes four minutes and most people find out they were not where they thought.

Level 4 to level 8

You can do all of this on your own. Most people do not, because the hard part is not knowing the steps — it is having something check whether you actually did them.

Distribution, not average

An average hides the problem. What matters is how many people sit below the line where AI starts carrying real work.
