IIQ: The Interface Intelligence Quotient™
The new literacy of the Interface Age. Stay human in the space between people and machines.
Why IIQ?
Every revolution redefined what it meant to be human.
The Industrial Age fractured the body.
The Digital Age fractured the economy.
The Interface Age fractures perception itself.
IIQ—The Interface Intelligence Quotient™—is the human capacity to hold meaning steady at the boundary between us and our machines.
Without it → we collapse into blind optimization: dashboards glow green while trust, dignity, and meaning erode.
With it → we bend technology back toward resonance: machines amplify wisdom instead of hollowing it out.
The Five Muscles of IIQ
IIQ is built on five interdependent muscles:
Ethics — asking Should we? when machines answer Can we?
Intuition — trusting embodied sense alongside data.
Tempo — resisting acceleration to restore rhythm.
Curiosity — keeping inquiry alive when AI offers closure.
Synthesis — weaving human nuance with machine scale.
Muscles grow with use. The more we practice, the stronger our collective discernment becomes.
