DIQ® (Digital Intelligence Quotient) is a digital literacy assessment system designed to objectively measure and analyze the skills required in the digital age. Developed in 2016, DIQ is a web-based platform that evaluates digital competencies through test-based assessments rather than self-report surveys. It is the world’s first digital competency assessment tool to apply a Multi-Tagging approach, enabling multiple competencies to be measured simultaneously through a single question. Beyond basic digital technology skills, DIQ assesses the ability to learn, communicate, and solve problems safely and responsibly in digital environments.

Today, digital literacy is a core competency for living in the future society. As artificial intelligence and digital technologies rapidly transform work, education, everyday life, and industries, individuals are now expected to possess not only technical skills, but also critical thinking, data literacy, digital citizenship, and self-regulation abilities. In particular, digital transformation (DX) is no longer optional for organizations—it is essential for survival. However, the success of digital transformation depends less on technology adoption itself and more on the competencies of the people using it. DIQ was developed to address these evolving needs and challenges.

Individuals can objectively diagnose their own digital competency levels, while companies and public institutions can utilize DIQ for employee competency assessment, educational planning, and organizational digital transformation analysis. Schools and educational institutions can also use DIQ as an objective framework for personalized learning design and educational effectiveness evaluation.
