CCIQ — Competitive Capability Index
Creativity, cognition, and mindset define your potential. CCIQ measures it.
CCIQ measures your creative mindset, problem-solving ability, and design intuition — not your memory.
Marks measure recall. CCIQ measures capability — how you think, solve, communicate, and build under uncertainty. It's the same vocabulary every enCODE course is tagged against, so your result points straight at what to learn next.
Growth isn't one-shot. You get 3 attempts a year — use them to evolve.
