You Can Finally Prove Your GAIQ Score!

Since Google launched the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (IQ) program nearly 8 months ago, a lot of people have asked for (I was one of them):

1. A way to prove to others that they have passed the Google Analytics IQ test and what their score was.
2. A badge that qualified GA individuals can put on their personal and/or company website.

Issue I: We wanted proof!

Well Google finally got around to addressing the first issue today enabling those that passed the GAIQ test to create a link to proof that they passed, for example here is my proof of passing the Google Analytics IQ test.

I really must thank Google for finally addressing this, it finally means people that are looking for someone to help them with Google Analytics will have a metric that they can use to wade through all of the people out there that either did not pass the test and claim to, or did not do very well. Of course an educated decision will depend on far more than a test score, but it is very important nevertheless.

Issue II: We wanted a badge!

Early last month I got a wicked email from Kamal:

Hi Erik,

I came across your site through a search on a google analytics related query and I noticed that you're a GAIQ. Would you like to be listed in the GAIQ Directory at http://www.GAIQDirectory.com? There's a submission page at http://www.gaiqdirectory.com/submit-your-gaiq-listing and a set of badges at http://www.gaiqdirectory.com/badges

Thanks,
Kamal

The Unoffical GAIQ Directory has barely been used, there appear to be 6 people in the directory currently, so if you have passed the GAIQ test, then I highly recommend submitting your listing there. Hopefully they will display score results soon hint hint.
