Customers truly enjoy taking the quick, engaging intelligence tests, finding the questions both fun and easily understandable.

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

Scam Service - Hidden Subscription

This is a scam website if ever there was one - once you pay your initial $1, there is a hidden subscription that deducts from your account every month thereafter.. A really sneaky, underhand way to do business. I would urge everyone not to use this service.

Hi Alison,

We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations.

Our quizzes can be taken before payment, while detailed results and premium features are part of a paid offering. We understand from your feedback that this was not communicated clearly enough during your experience.

We take concerns about transparency seriously and continue working to improve how pricing and subscription information is presented.

FALSE ADVERTISING

I clicked on their website that specifically said 'Free IQ test with Free results' because I did NOT want to pay. Completed the test and was immediately directed to a pay wall where I had to enter my card details to get my results. Did not pay and this is false advertising.

Before responding, please do not pretend this is a matter of point of view. By stating 'Free IQ test with Free Results' online, you are falsely advertising free results which you are not providing. Please amend this immediately.
