How AI-fluent are you, really?

Most AI quizzes ask if you've used ChatGPT. This one scores you across the 4 Ds — Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence — so you know your real fluency level and exactly which D to work on first.

Why take it

Three things you walk away with

01

See your real level, fast

Not a vibe-based gut check. A fluency level — Foundational, Practising, or Fluent — based on 32 structured questions, anchored to the 4 Ds framework used in working practice.

02

Find your weakest D

Per-D scorecard so you can see which of Delegation, Description, Discernment, or Diligence is dragging your overall fluency down — and where to focus first.

03

Start the course where it matters

The recommended next step points straight at the AI Fluency lessons that close your widest gap. Skip the bits you've already got; double down where it counts.

What you'll be asked

The 4 Ds — Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence

Eight questions per D. The framework is durable across models and tools — it's about how you work with AI, not which AI you happen to use.

01

Delegation

Decide what AI is for. Match the task to the tool. Know when to delegate fully, when to draft together, and when not to reach for AI at all.

02

Description

Tell the AI what you need with the five elements that matter: context, instruction, constraints, examples, output specification. Three lenses — Product, Process, Performance — for prompts that work.

03

Discernment

Read past the polish. Catch the factual, logical, and contextual errors. Diagnose sycophancy, hedging, evasion, and false certainty in AI behaviour.

04

Diligence

Verification, attribution, privacy, ethics. Take responsibility for what gets sent, shipped, or acted on — because the AI doesn't.
