Customers truly enjoy taking the quick, engaging intelligence tests, finding the questions both fun and easily understandable. Many consumers also appreciate receiving instant results along with very helpful explanations regarding their personal cognitive skills and performance. However, some customers also noted unexpected charges and unwanted monthly subscriptions that started after paying the initial small fee.

Claimed to be free but of course...

I didn't like the fact that it claimed to be a free test with free results and then made me pay to see the results. That is the same shady stuff that 99% of the apps pull now and it is so frustrating. On the other hand though I did like the the results and explanations were very interesting.

False Promises of Free Results.

I was directed to the IQ Institute website after clicking on an advertisement for Free IQ Testing with Free Results.

The IQ testing was free, although it did not appear to be a commonly accepted type of standardized test.

The promise of free results however, was entirely misleading. To gain access to personal test results, signing up for a paid subscription is required.

The quick response given to this review by IQ Institute stated the following:

"The test itself can be taken without payment, while the full detailed report and extended analysis are offered as an optional paid upgrade for users who wish to access additional insights.

We aim to present this information clearly during the process so users can make an informed decision before proceeding. Feedback like yours is valuable, as it helps us continue improving transparency, communication, and the overall user experience"

THE HEADING OF THE ADVERTISMENT I CLICKED ON SAYS WORD FOR WORD:

"FREE IQ TEST WITH FREE RESULTS"

There is nothing transparent about advertising test results for free, allowing a user to spend time completing the test, then upon completion not just one payment, but an ongoing subscription. PAYING FOR SOMETHING MEANS IT IS NOT FREE.

Shady Business

The test is promoted as free with free results, but they only tell you, that you need to pay, after you have completed the test. Nonetheless, i tried to pay my fee to get my results, but it didnt work, and didnt let me get them, the site doesnt work properly, the business seems shady and untrostworthy. Its a moneyscam at best. The subscription model and marketing is clearly misleading. Horrible experience!

Worth a pound if your bored and rich otherwise go do a free one

Whilst i did find the test interesting and discovered im gifted🤣(finally the recognition i needed), i felt a bit uneasy so came and checked reviews when i saw one regarding extra charges... Immediately went to check and they were right the company automatically signs you up and when you go to cancel i have never seen so many different boxes to tick.

Overall liked being called Gifted haha. And for a 1£

But yeah probably not legit & dishonest at the least taking peoples money... a bit sly. (I should know im gifted)

Very misleading

Very misleading! Do not falsely advertise as free then charge people once they have spent their time on the test. Just be upfront that gets you way further in life. Bad reviews do not help your business

False advertising and demands payment

Claims to offer a free test and result. Then demands payment. Avoid the scam!
