What makes someone a beginner, intermediate, or advanced speedcuber?

[1x1 wr holder!]

I was looking at my profile intro the other day and I noticed how when I first joined, I put in that I was an intermediate cuber. looking back, I still don't really know what makes someone intermediate, beginner, or advanced. I want to start a conversation about this, and before so, I'd like to establish the scope of the topic. the conversation will not include anything about WCA rankings and it will not be focused on the 3x3 cube. it will explore each of the 3 skill levels, and we will try to assign qualifications for each. i put out a poll of just some general things from the top of my head that make someone one of three, but if you think there is another way of determining, do tell. Hopefully, no ones done a thread like this before, if so I am sorry. I did some digging and couldn't find anything. I found something from another cubing website, but it was just on the 3x3.

I’d say it’s a mix of the first three. Not so much the third one, but I think all three play a part in how advanced a cuber is. To be advanced, you need to have good times in at least a few events, know some different and more advanced methods, and also have some experience in cubing. Going to a few competitions helps as well.
