AI is everywhere. But how much do you actually know about it?
"What's a prompt?" — sure. "What's an LLM?" — probably. "What's RLHF and why were ChatGPT and Claude trained with it?" — things get thinner here. "What's Flash Attention?" — and here we lose most people.
That's not a criticism. Most people don't need to know about Flash Attention. But knowing where you stand — that has value.
That's why we built a quiz.
Four levels, honestly calibrated
The quiz on this blog has four difficulty levels. You can start at the top, or work your way up level by level.
Beginner tests the basics everyone who uses AI should know. Who built ChatGPT? What does "hallucinate" mean? What's a token? No tricks, no technical knowledge required.
Intermediate goes deeper. RAG, fine-tuning, temperature, system prompts, vector databases — the concepts behind what you use every day. If you can answer these confidently, you understand AI as more than a black box.
Expert is for those who really want to look under the hood. Self-attention, LoRA, scaling laws, Constitutional AI, mechanistic interpretability. The level of research and technical practice.
Master is deep-sea fishing. Mixture of Experts, Flash Attention, Speculative Decoding, Model Merging, GRPO vs. PPO. This is where general knowledge ends.
Each level has 20 questions — enough for a solid assessment, taking about five to ten minutes.
What you get out of it
After every question you get instant feedback — not just right or wrong, but a brief explanation of why. That makes this a learning tool too, not just a self-test.
At the end you get an evaluation. Scoring below 40% gives you a direct link to the relevant beginner articles on this blog. No judgment — just direction. Scoring above 70% unlocks the next level.
Your browser stores your results locally. No account, no login, no tracking. Next time you visit, your score shows up as a small badge on the relevant level on the quiz overview page.
An honest caveat
A quiz isn't an exam — and this one especially isn't. It tests factual knowledge about AI concepts and technologies. That's not the same as being able to use AI effectively.
Someone who uses ChatGPT every day to solve real problems, writes creative prompts, and gets genuine work done — but has never heard of RLHF — is more useful than someone who knows all the jargon but never does anything with it.
Take the quiz as orientation. As a map. Not as a verdict.
All four language versions of this blog have their own quiz — including Latin and Klingon. In case you've been wondering whether Intelligentia Artificialis or QI'ntel is really the right path for you. 😉
