The AIQ measures athletic cognitive skills, a critical input to elite athletic performance
The Athletic Intelligence Quotient (AIQ) is a mental analytics tool currently being used by MLB teams (including World Series winners), NFL teams (including Super Bowl winners), NBA teams, NHL teams, MLS teams, Division 1 teams (including FBS Bowl Winners and a no. 1 ranked basketball team), Olympic training facilities, and training academies.
The AIQ measures the intellectual abilities most used in attaining, enhancing, and applying athletic skills. Just as a stopwatch measures speed, the AIQ provides valuable information about an athlete’s performance-specific intellectual abilities. The AIQ identifies an athlete’s mental strengths and weaknesses, helps coaches train athletes to reach the highest level of performance, and aids management and player personnel in scouting and roster decisions.
It should be noted that the AIQ was specifically designed to be robust to socio-economic status, race, religion, country of origin, language, and culture. Thus it can be used as a reliable and valid assessment for international players and teams. The AIQ currently includes English and Spanish language versions, with other languages readily available, if needed.
Organizations are using the AIQ in a number of ways, and its use can be tailored to fit your needs. For example, the AIQ can be used for:
- Pre-Selection talent evaluation
- Improving training and coaching through talent analysis
- Benchmarking current talent to continue to maximize roster potential
- Building a comprehensive performance profile
