Your choices — not your answers — reveal your natural collaboration patterns across five dimensions. No coached responses. No self-reporting. 37 behavioral indicators. Scored personally. Completable with any AI tool.

The AIQ Ninja Dojo

What is the Dojo?

A dojo is where you develop, not just learn.

In a traditional dojo, you build skill through practice, feedback, and repetition under someone who has already mastered what you’re building. The AIQ Ninja Dojo works the same way. Each class targets one dimension of your AIQ score and moves it. You come in with your scores. You leave with new ones.

Mon – Thu

Five research-backed skills delivered at your own pace. Video lessons, tools, and real practice on your own work.

Friday

One live session. Bring your work, ask questions, get direct feedback. New AIQ scores at the end of the week. AIQ Ninja certification included.

Analytical Partnership

Practitioner Directory

Find people who can actually do this.

Most professional directories tell you where someone went to school, what platforms they’ve used, or who endorsed them. None of them tell you how that person actually thinks when working with AI under pressure.

The AIQ Ninja Practitioner Directory does. Every profile reflects behavioral patterns measured across 37 indicators — not self-reported, not inferred from a job title. Yellow Belt and above: your listing is included. Black Belt: Priority placement.
