Digital Citizenship Test and DQ Index

The level of digital citizenship

Digital citizenship is a skill set required to use technology safely. As the first step of the IEEE digital intelligence (DQ) Global Standards (IEEE 3527.1™), digital citizenship is considered as a prerequisite for other digital skills, such as coding, cyber security, and other job-readiness technical skills.
in a country is a strong sign whether their DQ Index score is high or not.

Based on years of research, the DQ Institute developed a set of questions that effectively evaluates the digital citizenship level of individuals, which is called the Digital Citizenship Test (DCT).

Connected with the DQ Index, the results from the DCT are immediately updated to the index in order to showcase where each country stands. This allows the countries to effectively utilize resources and to inclusively improve their digital skill levels, creating a positive impact.
