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

The IQ test was quick and easy, as promised. I did not pay attention that it was more than a test, but a monthly fee. Their other tests were fun and informative. Cancellation, on the other hand, is v... See more

It literally says Free IQ test with…
It literally says Free IQ test with free results when u google. I spent 15 minutes of my life just to see “pay $2 to see results”. Also it says that ur results are saved for 15 minutes, so basically they are making fake urgency which is a huge red flag.
Never use it.

Hi Ghoul,
Thank you for your feedback. The IQ test provides a free preview, and the full detailed report is an optional paid upgrade—subscriptions are never applied without user consent. Results are saved temporarily to give users a chance to review their answers before deciding whether to purchase the full report.
If you’d like any clarification or assistance, please reach out to our support team here: https://iq-institute.org/contact-us/. Your feedback helps us improve clarity for all users.

Hi Candice,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear that the results left you feeling that way.
Please remember that these assessments are designed to provide insight into certain patterns or tendencies — they are not labels, judgments, or measures of your worth or intelligence. Results can sometimes feel blunt or surprising, but they’re meant to highlight areas for reflection and growth, not define who you are.
If any part of your report felt discouraging or unclear, we’d be happy to help explain it in more detail. You can reach out to us here:

Scam company
Scam company. It claims a free IQ test with free results, no fine print to find at the start after answering 40 questions it puts you against a pay wall of €1.95 if you don't read the fine print on that page you wil pay €29,99 every moth until you quit subscription that they force on you. It's an other scam. I'm considering to take legal steps. Belgium doesn't take this shit lightly. Consumer law is also law.

Hi Jens De Bruycker,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns.
The IQ test itself is free to take, and the €1.95 payment provides access to premium results and a trial of our full platform, which continues as a subscription only if it is not canceled during the trial period. We aim to communicate this clearly during checkout and in confirmation emails, but we understand that this may not have been obvious in your case.
If you need assistance with cancellation or reviewing charges, please contact us directly via https://iq-institute.org/contact-us/. Our team will prioritize your request and help resolve any issues, including subscription cancellation and applicable refunds.

Scam Website - do not give them your card details!
Terrible! Beware - do not use this website or under any circumstances ever give them your card details. They advertise a “free” IQ test, once finished they ask for a “one off” fee (around £2). They then illegally store your card details, and take money from your card whenever they feel like it. Luckily I noticed a £24.95 payment immediately and had to cancel my card and then order a new one. Extremely hard to cancel and don’t offer refunds. Will be contacting my bank to dispute the transaction. AVOID!

Absolute scam
Absolute scam, gives you your IQ test as expected.
Then charges your account unexpectedly and without a confirmation of subscribing to their services.

“Free IQ Test With Free Results”. Nah. They lied.
The website itself says “Free IQ Test With Free Results”, and the results are not free. In fact, they make you sign up for a $30 subscription to see your results. This site is an absolute scam and I would not recommend testing with them. Scam sites like this should be reported and taken down for false advertisement.

Says free test with free results.
Says free test with free results.. not! Did it because it stated free test with free results, when I got to the end of the test it wanted to charge me a small fee then if you did that it automatically sets you up for $29 monthly subscription, so misleading should be taken down. Luckily just exited out.

Hi Maxine,
Thank you for your feedback. We take concerns about billing and subscriptions very seriously. The test provides a free preview, and the full detailed report is an optional paid upgrade—subscriptions are never automatically applied without user consent.
Unlike some sites that charge $59.95 upfront before you even see the test, we let you experience the test for free so you can see what it’s about, and offer an option to get your test results for only $1.95. This includes a 7-day trial to our complete Growth platform and all premium features. You can cancel at any time within the trial period, and keep your results for just $1.95.
We stand by our product and offer a money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied. Please contact us and we'll be happy to issue a refund and assist you further.

Stupid subscription
Test was good but then I signed up to a subscription that I didn’t know I was signing up to. I’ve emailed them and had nothing back, they took £24.95 out and it says on their website 14 day money back guarantee. But not had anything

Scam company
Scam company. They make out it's a one-off fee (£1.95) but then use your payment details to bill much higher amounts, presumably on a monthly basis. It's impossible to get through to them to cancel it, which means going via your payment option (credit card, in my case). Apparently they are well-known for this practice. Avoid.
