Badge, profile and number
- Badge
- Awarded for each level passed in a strand. There are fifteen strands, so up to fifteen badges.
- Profile
- Your badges together form your AIQ profile. The profile band is a summary read from your AIQ number; the badges are the credential.
- AIQ number
- The sum of your levels across the fifteen strands, out of 90. A holder of level 3 in one strand and level 2 in another has an AIQ number of 5.
- Verification code
- Every certificate carries a code. Anyone can enter it on the public register to confirm the holder, the levels and whether currency is valid.
