Hi David,

We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this up.

You can take the test for free, and the €1.95 fee is for accessing your results, which also includes a 7-day trial of our full platform and premium features. We aim to make this clear throughout the process, though we understand it may not always feel that way.

If you need any assistance or would like us to review your case, please reach out here: https://help.blossomup.co/hc/en-us/requests/new

Complete scam.

Complete scam.. after the initial test for £1.95 they then try and bill you £24.95 every month. These are hidden charges that they make it hard to spot when you sign up for the single test at £1.95. Beware this is a complete scam. Luckily my bank blocked the follow on payments that I never signed up for.

This company scams people's time with…

This company scams people's time with FALSE ADVERTISING of free IQ tests and after you spend 10-15 minutes completing what is advertised as a 5 minute test, you are unable to see your results unless you pay. THIS IS A SHAM, DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY OR TAKE ANY OF THEIR IQ TESTS!

REPLY FOR IQ INSTITUTE:
You simply do not get to blatantly lie like that. Your IQ test description of the page ON GOOGLE is, and I quote: Free IQ Test With Free Results | IQ Test - Updated for 2026. Read that? Free results. That is a misrepresentation of your offering. What person in their right mind spends 20 minutes on a test as a 'free preview' only for then to get the results of their time and effort behind a pay wall? I wish i could attach a screenshot of exactly what google says when you search 'free iq test' and yours pops up with that title I mentioned but I am sure you already know. After all, you're the ones making your own false advertising. You've said in other reviews before that 'you're taking it into account' but you've not done so, have you? Since it is now almost May and the last review like mine of a person wasting their time was in February. Make it CLEAR from the get go that results will be offered after payment so that people don't go through your test and waste minutes of their lives that they're never getting back ever.

Hi Abby,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. The test is designed to provide a free preview, while the full detailed results are offered as an optional paid report for users who wish to access a more in-depth analysis.

We aim to make this distinction clear during the process so users can make an informed decision before proceeding. Feedback like yours is important, as it helps us continue improving transparency and the overall user experience.

Hi Lynne,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

You can cancel your subscription either through the website or by contacting our support team. For reference, a purchase confirmation email is sent after checkout to the email address linked to your payment method. If you used Google Pay or Apple Pay, the email associated with those accounts may have been used to create or connect to your account. If you’re unable to find the confirmation email, please check your spam or junk folder.

Additionally, it’s possible for an account to be created without manually entering an email. This can occur when a device already has an email address linked to it. Even if the email is no longer actively used, it may still be connected through your device settings, saved autofill data, or browser-stored information. In such cases, the system may automatically attach the linked email during checkout.

We’ve also sent a request to gather your information so we can look into this further and assist you as quickly as possible. You may also reach our Customer Support team directly at support@iq-institute.org. This is a working email, and we’ll be happy to assist you there.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

DO NOT BUY THE IQ REPORT for the £1.95

DO NOT BUY THE IQ REPORT for the £1.95! They then charge you a further £24.95 7 days later. Then they try and say you signed up to a subscription which I absolutely didn’t. You then try to contact via the website but it doesn’t work and you get a bounce back from the email on the site. They are tricking and scamming people. Do not let it happen to you! If it’s not refunded within 48 hours I’m contacting my bank for reversal and reporting them

Problem sorted

13 April This company have taken large amounts of money from my bank account, after I completed a one- off IQ test for which I paid £1.95. They have subsequently taken two more payments totalling over £50. There is no way to contact them to cancel, the customer service email is not active. I can’t afford to lose this money every month and don’t know how to stop it.
20 April I am pleased to say that through Trustpilot I have been able to make contact with the company and have been fully refunded for the two payments they took. The matter is resolved, thankfully

Absolutely unacceptable experience.

Absolutely unacceptable experience.

I signed up expecting to simply receive my test results, but was instead enrolled in a subscription WITHOUT clear consent. Money was taken from my account immediately, which I did not authorise.

To make matters worse, there is effectively NO way to contact this company. The listed support email does not work, and their contact page is unreliable and unresponsive. This makes it extremely difficult to resolve an issue or request a refund.

This feels deliberately misleading and lacks basic transparency. Customers should be clearly informed before being charged and given a proper way to contact support.
If the company sees this please contact me as i have not been succcessful with your contact link portal page.
I have now had to escalate this issue and i have no way of contacting them.

Avoid this company.
