Yep paywall as people mentioned - kind of lame, but the fake reviews they show make it seem like it'll be worthwhile so I paid. The career advice is so useless, literally one 'career option' was 'soci... See more

I overall really liked the option list for depicting what the best career would be. As well as the easy to use format. However I was disappointed with the lack of direction in where these very specifi... See more

So stupid - it was only $5 but what a waste. Filled this out to help me get some different ideas of careers and it listed 7 different careers of teaching: elementary, kindergarten, secondary, etc. why... See more

Awful quality do not pay

Read to see if it was free. Checked it was free. Double checked it was free…spent time inputting answers, it definitely is not free. Also the quality of the wording and the fact the questions weren’t proof read means that you’ll probably be disappointed with any results you do pay for.

MONEY HUNGRY TIME WASTERS

They do not have the decency to mention that their 40 minute stupid long test is going to be paid? Not even a slight mention anywhere that says "HEY If you're not gonna pay, you're wasting your time" I did this with my bf and thought it would be a fun little activity but this wasted 40 mins of our little valuable time together. They suck. The company sucks. This stupid test sucks. I hope they never get any money and no one ever pays for this stupid test because they don't have enough human decency to warn people to not waste their time.

the career test scams

I've answered all questions only to find out in the end that I needed to pay 🙃 to get my result. They should have said in the beginning that there's a cost for this test. $23.00

No cost / information transparency

No cost / information transparency!

They do not mention anything about costs and after spending 60 minutes answering questions, they want € 19 for the result.

Plus: they’re not showing any Impressum, responsible name, address, firm etc. on their website.
Thumbs down 👎🏼

Utter scam

Utter scam - they'll get some people to pay the fee on the basis that no one likes to feel like they've wasted their time. On principle, I'm not paying it! Be upfront about the cost you absolute con-men!

No mention of payment

I don't have a problem with this being paid at all. I understand these tests are difficult to create and take a lot of time, on which you want a return. All I ask is for you to be human, and tell me before I waste time on it, that I will have to pay at the end.

Utter timewasting scam!!

Utter timewasting scam!!! Doesn't tell you at the start that after you've spent 30 minutes answering their mind numbingly boring questions, if you want a verdict on what career would suit you, you have to pay! And it's not cheap either, £15.99!!! Don't waste a second on it!!!

Basically an elongated test to entice…

Basically an elongated test to entice you into not wasting the time it took you to get through it so you buy your results which I did not do. And by the looks of it that was a good decision. Scammer rubbish website
