Not Free as promised

It promised "Free Test & Free Results". At the end of the test it wants $1.95 for you "Results & premium package", which AUTO-RENEWS at $29.95/month!

Total scam.

Hi Toni Wood,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concern. Our intention is not to mislead users. While the test itself is free to take, access to the full results and premium features requires a fee, which is presented during the checkout process along with any applicable subscription terms.

We asked for additional information from you so we can help you with your query.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve how we communicate this more clearly. We’d also like the opportunity to review your case and ensure everything is properly addressed. Please feel free to contact our support team here: https://help.blossomup.co/hc/en-us/requests/new

It is a scam

It is a scam, it says free but then you pay 2 dollars for the iq test then they secretly charge you 30 a month, the cancel button doesn’t work and they don’t have a number to call (i go a 140 on the iq test, only saying this so you know im not angry about my test results, they probably aren’t legit anyways) once logging out it doesn’t let you log back in even with the correct info, and doesn’t let you reset your password. DO NOT trust this website it is a scam. When looking into the business they are located at “1309 Coffeen Ave STE 1200, Sheridan Wyoming” this is literally a dry cleaning place. When calling them they said they have no idea about this website and have no affiliation.

Unexpected Subscriptions Charges

This company will charge you a subscription if you submit a single payment for any test on their website. The contact email does not exist, the “send a message” option also does not work. To cancel, you have to find on the website where it says cancel subscription, they will send you an email, and have you confirm the cancelation. They have already charged me for 1 month of subscription, I doubt I will be able to get that back at this point.

Have the legal ramifications for 'small print' changed?

Scam? Was no indication that a subscription was needed. Paid a small fee for on IQ test. Which I was happy to do. Website build and functionality seems professinal.

I received no email woth receipt or info about login method for any account.

I later examined the information in "my account". Why do I even have an account? Stated, in the "status", that I had an active subscription. Thus was forced/tricked into a subscription.

At least they notify, about the subscription, in a subtle way.

I followed the user interface to cancellation, but my cancellation has not been verified per email.

I wrote to their support email support(a)iq-insitute.org, but it bounced (non existing).

Can I trust that all these positive reviews on TP are genuine?

We understand your concerns and want to assure you that our reviews come from real customers who have shared their genuine experiences, and we stand by the quality of our service.

Our company is a professional business, and we do not tolerate fake reviews. This goes against our own values as well as Trustpilot's guidelines, which we fully adhere to.

Our goal is to provide a transparent service. The IQ test itself can be taken for free, and users have the option to access their detailed results for a small fee, which includes a trial to our platform with additional assessments and features. Information about the trial and the subscription is provided during the checkout process and in the confirmation email.

If your cancellation has not been confirmed or if you need assistance with your account, we would be happy to help resolve this for you as quickly as possible. Please contact our support team directly via https://iq-institute.org/contact-us/ so we can review your case and assist you further.

In addition, please note that our correct email address is support@iq-institute.org
