Spent 10 minutes completing the tests only to be told I must pay for the result. I had to enter my email to be advised I must pay for the result. I should have reviewed before I participated. The way this is set up seems scammy to me so beware.

It was all but impossible to cancel subscription and required a separate cancellation site (Pissed Consumer) to do so which they promptly did without any fees.

These are the terms I agreed to:

"The following IQ test is designed to test non-verbal intelligence while minimizing cultural or educational biases. It's a culture fair O test that will measure your intellectual ability, entertain you infinitely, and tie your brain in a thousand knots!
After finishing this test you will receive a FREE score delivered by email. You will also have the option to purchase the full results for $1.99. You may not use our site or the information we provide unless you agree to our Terms of Use and agree to use our site for entertainment purposes only."

I did not receive the score for free. Instead, I was instructed to pay to receive the score.

STAY AWSY!@
July 1, 2023

Stay away! They say its only $1.99 but then they charge you $19.95 which is over $30.00 Canadian. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
You're in an Agreement with no proof of authorisation on your part or acknowledgement to you from them because once you do become aware of it they will only refund your latest payment if you catch it in time.
There are still two payments that I did not become aware of in time and was not refunded for.

I'm not happy with their service, they are completely a rip off, and they don't in any way respect the values of any individuals who care about their own education!

Iq test scam
May 3, 2023

They do a long iQ test then charge you at the end to see the results. Then they want you to subscribe to a monthly ripoff.

Horrifying
April 12, 2023

This is worst site I've ever used. Thank you for making me take an IQ test and then making me pay $30 for it... Your company should be ashamed. In fact I would never consider doing business again. I would like to talk with your higher ups but you guys aren't ready for that. Once again your company is shameful and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I have to pay 1.99$ just to view my IQ result I tried on a the initial test from an ad. Judging from other review tests they offer are awful. Don't buy-waste of time. Also don't even bother completing their initial IQ test as they won't give you the results for the test until after you have subscribed to the full service. Complete waste of 20 mins!

Scam
February 9, 2023

I don't mind paying for it...the shady part is they ask for money AFTER you've taken the time to take the test with no indication it will cost when you do it. This is used car dealer level shady. I'd never give this scammy company a penny because of this.

They say they will send your score, Just that they wont. They lead you to believe you will gwe a score for free and if you want a complete analysis then you pay a fee. That is NOT the case. Wire fraud if you ask me

Thieves
February 1, 2023

I usually don't do reviews but i had to on this one. They get your information to start the test to " Discover what your mind can do" and you tag along for 20 minutes which is the test duration and then ask for your money to give you the results. So, if you do not have 20 minutes to waist, ignore the stupid lure!

Entertaining
January 19, 2023

The tests were fun. The results for me were favorable although I'm no genius. Opting for the 7 day trial period, it was effortless to call and get through to their friendly and efficient customer service agent. So, go for it!

What a sham!
January 11, 2023

I must have a low IQ for falling for their trap! Get you to invest time in a test, then charge you for the results. Worse part is, it's not just $1.99. Terms say you're actually agreeing to their terms by moving forward, and it's a monthly subscription of $27.88 if you don't cancel (which most people won't, because they'll likely forget. Very dishonest form of marketing that damages reputations!

"By clicking continue I agree to the Terms of Service, including the billing terms. I understand that I am enrolling in a 7 day IQ access package for$1.99. If I decide to cancel during the period I will only be charged this amount. Otherwise, I will be charged $27.88 every month until I cancel my subscription, and I may cancel at any time."

It is a total scam, just waste of your time. It takes your time for 20 mins then asks you to pay them for results. They do not mention that their service is paid at first. You get to know it after 20 mins. Also the test is a setup and so easy so you pay to see a high IQ.

A big runaround
December 26, 2022

I did not even get to the point of first payment. They were supposed to send me a code via email so I could sign up for their service. I tried twice. No code sent. Maybe just as well. I think I was about to be drawn into a scam. My big concern is all the personal information I provided them as I filled out the initial paperwork. I wonder if by not becoming a member they did not get my Info? Or did they? Anybody have any ideas?
