Learner Archetypes
Archetypes describe how you naturally prefer to learn. They're based on patterns from the [AI Skills Quiz](https://aiskillsquiz.com) and reflect your instinctive approach to picking up new skills — not what you're good at, but how you like to start.
Knowing your archetype helps you get into exercises faster and make the most of your learning time.
