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.... See more

It's not a scam.

Not a scam. You only pay $1 and can verify your intelligence level in a few areas. I don't know if it's fully credible or not, but it looks legitimate. Anyway, it's a nice way to check.

I've done other IQ tests as well and this is literally the exact score I got on the other ones as well so the consistency causes me to think that this is a effective test that it's accurate. I love how it breaks down each category and what percentage you are for each category so that you can see what your strengths are not just your IQ

$40 CHARGED ON VISA

You sign up for a $2 test, and while I’m sure they cover themselves with some buried text—I assure you it’s VERY unclear— you’re actually signing up for a discounted trial subscription. They charged me $40 CAD a month later. Total scam company, no one needs a subscription for IQ tests.

Also, potentially unrelated: a day after this issue my bank called me and said a compromised vendor leaked my visa info, so while I can’t be sure it was related, its hard not to associate this with the only company on my bill who was unknown to me, and dubious in their actions. This is of course all just alleged, and I’ll be happy to update my review once they refund me.

Update: They requested this review be taken down, but rest assured it's real. I'm not giving them any more personal info to fight it.
