The company has garnered a mix of positive and negative feedback from its members. On the positive side, customers appreciate the engaging content, such as puzzles and IQ tests, which provide entertainment and intellectual challenge. However, significant concerns have emerged regarding customer service and leadership changes, as long-time members report being locked out of their accounts and facing demands for re-testing and fees. This has led to sentiments of frustration and disappointment, with some feeling that the organization's direction has shifted unfavorably. Overall, while the content remains valued, customer service issues and perceived management missteps are prevalent concerns.

I was locked out without explanation after 23 years life member ship. It feels like leadership has gone woke or broke. Wanted me to retest and pay for life membership AGAIN. Ha it feels like this once fun society is being turned into a cult.
I am a lifelong member since 2006, and as such cannot be kicked off the platform merely for giving my opinion, but apparently the new "president" who recently took over is on a power trip and after re-emerging from not logging in for over a year and discovering that my entire network had been erased as well as all communication from over the years, I was blocked from entering just for explaining that I'm not happy with it, and was accused of "hiding behind a fake identify" just because I used my professional handle instead of my name. Excluding a lifelong member is proposterous.
I don't know what is the use of this website anymore. It used to allow you to take an iq test for free which is not the case anymore. It is pretty much useless now.
Please check the site again and update your review. It is a very active community with a high service level. The test is only a couple of dollars these days. Also the member fee is not much compared to some other societies given the current service level – your review was submitted long ago.
I took the Gigi Sprint test and scored 121 highly intelligent by IQ standards. The thing is it is designed for 14-65 year old people and I just turned 12. I was only a couple of points away from getting in. So if you are highly intelligent, like me, and want bragging rights, I would recommend it.
Thank you for your positive review, although being a member does not come with bragging rights: we are interested in how members can benefit one another as well as society at large.
At any given time there are maybe 30 high-IQ societies worldwide, of which maybe ten are generally recognized as serious. Probably best known is Mensa, which has been around for longer than I have, and seeks those who fit into the top 2 percent of the population. If you want a tougher challenge, then you can attempt to join Triple-Nine, which as the name suggests, only accepts those who are in the top one-tenth of a percent of the population, intelligence-wise. On the other hand, if you want something a bit easier but still impressive-sounding on your resume, you could try this one, the High IQ Society. They'll accept you if you pass a test demonstrating, at least to their satisfaction, that you're in the top five percent.
Of course there are endless debates over the usefulness of intelligence tests, over whether they are class- or race- or gender-biased, and what, if anything, they truly measure. Is someone who passes the Triple-Nine really in the top tenth of a percent of the entire world population? And if they are, is that a useful piece of information for them or anyone else?
Surprisingly, there is a correlation between intelligence test ratings, or "IQ", and success. Many entertainment celebrities, and even politicians, have done well in these tests. And two of these organizations have even accepted me, though I have so far failed to achieve any sort of celebrity in any field other than here on SiteJabber.
Even if you think it's all a joke, it costs nothing to take the tests and maybe have a bit of fun in the process. You don't have to pay anything, unless you want to become a registered member, but you can still save your score on a "pay later" basis so that if you ever do want to use it, you can come back.
By the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a higher IQ than George W Bush. Who would have guessed?
This person has been targeting IHIQS with their hate speech an has been harassing its current owner, including in now reported private messages.
This person did not at all adhere to the community guidelines in the past and was looking for someone to blame. After multiple takeovers in the past, you cannot blame a current president to retrieve data not stored in between. It is not there and there is nothing the current president can do about it. Also, not using your real name and going straight on the attack right after becoming active on the new platform is against the community guidelines - the platform hosts real names only - and gets you removed from the community.
Here are the community guidelines:
1. No bullying and harassment
2. No coercive control and gaslighting
3. No threats and intimidation
4. No racism and discrimination
5. No sexism, homophobia and transphobia
6. No preaching and religious acquisition
7. No marketing and sales
8. No fake news and pseudoscience
9. No public retaliation against group members/admins
10. No sharing of private information
11. No nicknames or company names as profile names
Take your hate elsewhere or do something more productive with your life.
