AI-Readiness Check
Which kind of AI user are you?
Ten questions on using AI at work, about two minutes, free. You finish as one of six types, with how you lean between too cautious and too trusting, and a card to share.
A free quiz from the AI Assurance Council. Not a certification.
§ 1How it works
Ten questions, three options each
You give an email and your line of work, then answer ten short questions about situations at work, and finish by giving your name. There are two from each of five areas. Basics is what AI is and is not. Mechanics is how it works and why it gets things wrong. Hands-on is getting good work out of it. Risk is where its mistakes cause harm. Rules is who answers for AI-assisted work.
Every question has one right answer and two wrong ones, and the wrong ones are not random. One trusts AI further than the task allows. The other holds it back further than the task needs. That is what lets the result say how you lean as well as how many you got right.
Your result arrives by email and lives at its own link, with the questions you missed and why. Each attempt draws a fresh ten from a bank of a hundred.
§ 2The six types
Which one are you?
The type comes from the shape of your result, not only the total. Your areas are grouped into understanding, everyday use and judgement, and the strongest group decides.
- The NavigatorYou use AI well and you know where it breaks.Nine or ten right, across every kind of question.
- The VerifierNothing ships until you have checked it.Strongest on Risk and Rules, where AI output goes wrong and who answers for it.
- The AcceleratorYou get real work out of AI. The guardrails come next.Strongest on Hands-on, getting good work out of AI day to day.
- The DecoderYou know how the machine works. Next is where it bites.Strongest on Basics and Mechanics, what AI is and how it works.
- The All-RounderEven across the board, with a few gaps to close.Even across understanding, everyday use and judgement.
- The ExplorerEarly days, and now you know what to learn first.Three or fewer right, with a clear list of what to learn first.
§ 3How you lean
Too cautious, too trusting, or in between
Each wrong answer leans one way, so the result places you on a line from cautious to trusting. Both ends are a gap. Too cautious costs time, because work that AI could help with gets done by hand. Too trusting costs accuracy, because output goes out unchecked. The middle is the aim.
§ 4What it is not
A quiz, not a credential
The check certifies nothing. When you want your AI literacy on the record, the Certified Applied AI Associate is published on the public register. Its assessment fee is US$199. Share your result from this check on LinkedIn and paste the address of the post on your result page by 31 December 2026, and a coupon code arrives by email that waives the fee in full. One fee, or one code, covers every attempt. The practice test shows the format of that assessment. The check’s questions are its own and appear in neither.
§ 5The code
How to get the code
Four steps, and the fourth is the Council's. Any result earns it. There is no pass mark. Posts sent by 31 December 2026 qualify.

§ 6What we keep
Your email, your answers and your result
We keep your email, your line of work, your name, your answers and your result, to send you the result and keep it at its link. The link shows your type and never your email or your name. Nothing is joined to a candidate account. The updates list is a separate, optional box, and to be removed you email hello@aiassurancecouncil.org. The privacy notice sets this out in full.
§ 7Questions
Common questions
Is the AI-Readiness Check a certification?
No. It is a free quiz that tells you something about how you use AI and gives you a card to share. It certifies nothing and no credential is issued. The Certified Applied AI Associate is the Council’s flagship credential, published on the public register. Its fee is waived by a coupon code, which anyone receives by sharing their result from this check on LinkedIn.
Does sharing my result get me anything?
Yes, a coupon code for the Certified Applied AI Associate assessment. The assessment fee is US$199, and the code waives it in full. One fee, or one code, covers every attempt. Paste the address of your LinkedIn post on your result page by 31 December 2026 and the code follows by email.
Are these the questions on the Certified Applied AI Associate assessment?
No. The check draws from its own bank of a hundred questions, written for it and kept apart from the assessment’s bank and from the practice test. The quiz shows its explanations, so a shared question would give away a live answer.
Why does it ask for my email before the first question?
So your result can be sent to you and kept at its own link. The updates list is a separate box, ticked in advance, and unticking it keeps you off the list. Your result link shows your type and never your email.
Can I take it again?
Yes, as often as you like. Each attempt draws a fresh set of ten questions, two from each area, so a retake is a different paper.
Does it work for my line of work?
Yes. The questions are general workplace situations rather than questions for one profession. Your line of work prints on your card, and there are sixteen to choose from.
