Eight scenarios. Swipe toward your answer.
Paper due in six hours. AI states a confident-sounding fact. A friend asks where to eat. Pick the move that's actually you, not the one that sounds smarter.
The three-minute test
Who are you when you use AI?
Forty archetypes. Forty-one swipes. Three minutes. You get your AI IQ, your archetype, your blind spots — and what to do about them.
You don't just use AI. You relate to it. Some people command it. Some argue with it. Some defer to it. Some hide it. The pattern is sitting in every conversation you've ever had with the thing — you've just never seen it laid out. Three minutes, and you will.

How it works
Five rounds.
One gesture.
Every question is a swipe. Forty-one cards in three kinds: pick one, yep or nope, and three where one answer is actually right. Together they put you on nine dimensions, and the nine dimensions decide the archetype.

Eleven things you did or didn't do this week.
Right for yep, left for nope. Asked AI what to text back. Made a song with it. Argued with it because it was wrong. This is where the badges come from.
Three rounds with a right answer.
Two prompts, same goal. Swipe toward the one that works. It's the only part of the test you can get wrong, and it's how we separate people who can make AI perform from people who think they can.
Eleven statements you'd never say to a professor.
I check its facts. I've used it to sound like I know a topic I don't. There's work of mine AI isn't allowed near. Nobody sees your answers but you, and the honest one is the useful one.
Eight about who you are with this thing.
AI is more like a tool, or a friend? The you that uses it is the same you everyone sees, or a version nobody else does? Then four optional taps of context, and your archetype.
What it measures
Nine dimensions.
One profile.
Every answer moves you along at least one of these. Your archetype is where all nine land together. Drag the first four and watch the archetype change.

The library
Forty archetypes.
One of them is you.
Twenty-four core archetypes describe how you relate to AI. Twelve specialty archetypes describe what you use it for; they show up as badges, or take over when they're the strongest thing about you. Four outliers catch the extremes. Open any of them.
What you get
Not a score.
A profile.
The number is the headline. The rest is the point.
- Your AI IQZero to a hundred, with an honest margin of error.
- Primary archetypeOne of forty — the things you'll love about being it, and the things that'll sting.
- Behavioral badgesUp to two. The patterns running underneath the main one.
- Shadow riskThe one thing to watch.
- Growth edgeOne concrete thing to try this week.
- Nine-dimension readoutWhere you land on every axis.

Under the hood
A quiz on the surface.
An instrument underneath.
Every answer is logged with its response time against a random ID that lives in your browser. No name, no email, no login. The mini test is calibrated to ±6 points. The full test — a hundred questions — narrows that to ±2 and adds peer percentiles by major, year, and tool.
The test is the instrument for a student research project: two college sophomores studying how their own generation uses AI, and how it doesn't.
About the projectAnonymous by design
A random ID in your browser is the only thing that connects your answers. Nothing to log into, nothing to leak.
Written for 18 to 24
Built for the first generation that grew up with this. It works for everyone else too; it's just not written for them.
Your data trains nothing
Responses inform the research and the next version of the test. They never feed a model.
