What is AIQ?

AIQ—The New Intelligence That Will Define the Future

For years, we’ve measured human intelligence with IQ.

Emotional intelligence? EQ.

Social intelligence? SQ.

But there’s a new kind of intelligence that’s quickly becoming essential in today’s AI-powered world:

AIQ – Your Artificial Intelligence Quotient.

Aaron Bare, Chief Strategy Officer of Baryons coined the term AIQ, and the entire Baryons organization has adopted it because AIQ will soon become the most valuable measure of a person’s ability to thrive in the future—because those who understand and leverage AI will not only outpace disruption… they’ll shape it.

🔍 What Exactly Is AIQ?

AIQ is your ability to understand, adopt, and effectively collaborate with artificial intelligence.

It’s not about coding or building large language models from scratch. It’s about your capacity to:

• Ask better questions (prompts)

• Integrate AI tools into your work

• Leverage AI for decision-making, learning, and creativity

• Build systems that adapt and learn alongside you

• Ethically and intentionally navigate the AI landscape

Think of AIQ as your AI literacy + creativity + adaptability—your fluency in the future.

🧠 Why AIQ Matters More Than IQ

Here’s the truth: AI doesn’t replace humans—it replaces tasks.

Thus, the humans who know how to work with AI become extraordinary.

• A high-AIQ marketer can run campaigns that would take a whole team.

• A high-AIQ founder can scale faster with fewer resources.

• A high-AIQ student learns 10x faster with personalized AI tutors.

• A high-AIQ executive leads with insight, not just instinct.

In short: AIQ is the multiplier of all your other intelligences.

And while your IQ may be fixed, AIQ is trainable—if you have the right mentor.

🤖 AI Mentorship: Your Path to Increasing AIQ

That’s where the AI Mentor comes in.

At Baryons, we created an AI-powered mentor designed to build your AIQ through:

• Guided prompting frameworks

• Gamified skill development

• Memory-based personalization

• Real-time nudges and feedback

• Habit systems that integrate AI into your workflow

It’s like having a 24/7 mentor and personal coach that at the same time helps you naturally incorporate AI into your life.

The AI Mentor is specifically designed to help you become more confident, creative, and capable in an AI-first world.

📈 How to Measure Your AIQ (Coming Soon)

We’re currently developing the AIQ Index—a dynamic scorecard that helps you measure, improve, and track your growth across five key AIQ pillars:

1. Prompting & Communication

2. Tool Fluency

3. Creative Collaboration

4. Systems Thinking

5. AI Ethics & Awareness

Your AIQ score won’t just tell you where you stand—it’ll guide you on where to grow, and your mentor can help you get there.

🔮 The Future Belongs to the High-AIQ

Just as literacy reshaped the last revolution, AIQ will define this one.

The question isn’t if you need to raise your AIQ.
