A new online quiz called the AI Compass categorizes individuals into one of 30 archetypes based on their views regarding artificial intelligence [1].

The tool reflects a growing interest in quantifying human sentiment toward AI. By mapping these perspectives, the quiz attempts to provide a structured framework for understanding how different people perceive the risks and benefits of synthetic intelligence.

Created by Bambamramfan, the quiz utilizes AI to process user responses and assign a specific category [2]. The system draws comparisons to libertarian auditing methods to analyze how users align with various ideological or technical stances on AI development [1]. According to reports, the quiz assigns users to one of 30 archetypes based on their responses [1].

Discussion surrounding the tool has surfaced on Hacker News, where users have engaged with the methodology [3]. Some reports indicate the quiz uses eight points of data to determine these classifications [3]. This approach seeks to move beyond simple binary opinions, such as being "pro-AI" or "anti-AI," by offering a more granular spectrum of belief.

One report from MSN described the experience as a unique blend of technology and social analysis. The publication said, "There's something just perfect about the combination of AI, ..." [1].

The AI Compass is currently accessible via a GitHub link, allowing the public to test their own alignment within the 30-archetype system [2].

“The quiz assigns users to one of 30 archetypes based on their responses.”

The AI Compass represents a shift toward 'algorithmic sociology,' where AI is used not just to perform tasks, but to categorize human belief systems. By applying auditing-style metrics to personal opinions, the tool mirrors the way political compasses have historically categorized voters, suggesting that AI sentiment is becoming a primary lens for identity and ideological grouping in the modern era.
