Considering 668 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers truly enjoy taking the quick, engaging intelligence tests, finding the questions both fun and easily understandable.

I want to cancel the subscription

If someone wants a quick way to cancel their card, and have to call the bank to get another one, here it is.
I want to cancel the subscription, there is no way to cancel the subscription because to begin with, you never create an account, it is a scam by any measure, you are vulgar thieves

Hi Jonathan,

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

You can cancel your subscription either through the website or by contacting our support team. For reference, a purchase confirmation email is sent after checkout to the email address linked to your payment method. If you used Google Pay or Apple Pay, the email linked to those accounts may have also been used to create or connect to your account. If you’re unable to find the confirmation email, please check your spam or junk folder.

Additionally, it’s possible that an account was created without manually entering an email. This can happen when a device already has an email address linked to it. Even if the email is no longer actively used, it may still be connected through your device settings, saved autofill information, or browser-stored details. In these cases, the system may automatically attach the linked email during checkout.

We’ve also sent a request to gather your information so we can look into this further and assist you as quickly as possible. You may also reach our Customer Support team directly at support@iq-institute.org. This is a working email, and we’ll be more than happy to assist you there.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
IQ Institute Support

Predatory website

Do not pay for the test that they claim is only 1.95. They will automatically enroll you in a subscription plan without requiring you to make an account. They save your card info used to purchase results and use that to automatically charge you without needing an account, email address or any personal information. It’s not possible to cancel this subscription if you don’t have an account. Please watch out for this and do not make the same mistake I did.

Hi Carla,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered.

Our premium results are available for a small fee and include deeper insights and additional features like a 7-day full access to our website, which many find valuable.

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.

Best regards,

Absolute SCAM!

Absolute SCAM!

They advertise as a FREE IQ test provider in the Google search results!

You then spend 15 minites completing a lot of questions just to be asked to pay £1.99 AFTER you finish.

At NO POINT beforehand are you advised of the fee before you begin!

There is also no email address to complain.

I have no problem websites like this making a living, but I cannot stand being misled!

Avoid these misleading fraudsters!

*** UPDATE AFTER OWNER RESPONSE ***

They replied -

"...any pricing information is presented during the user journey before payment is completed, and users are asked to confirm their purchase prior to access being granted..."

Absolute pack of lies! They are clearly trying to obfuscate the issue.

What they are talking about above is the pricing page to get your results.

However, the point I made (which they tried to sidestep in their response) is that a user has no idea that this charge is coming!

Why on Earth would I (or anybody else) start a 15 - 25 minute iq quiz with no possibility of seeing my results (unless I pay)?

I WOULDN'T!

This is what I meant... (so I'll say it again) AT NO POINT WAS I TOLD *BEFORE* TAKING THE IQ QUIZ THAT I WOULD HAVE TO *PAY* TO SEE THE RESULTS!

Looking through these comments many people have complained about the exact same thing. So this Company is aware of its unpopularity.

They are therefore deliberately trying to scam people!

Lying manipulators!

I can tell you right now that this is a one man band operation, and he owns similar 'iq quiz' websites that decieves people in the same mannor!

If you want a TRULY FREE iq test (which is accurate) go to the 'Mensa' website!

Had the owner not try to lie to me in his response then I would have kept that information to myself (as I believe businesses should be allowed to make a living) but this guy is clearly not listening to people and he is operating a deceitful and active scam website!

I don't know if I would even trust his results!

I am extremely disappointed with IQ Institute

I am extremely disappointed with IQ Institute. They have repeatedly charged my account multiple times a month for a subscription I never wanted. Despite my attempts to reach out and request a refund, I have received no response or resolution. This lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable. I strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with this company.

Great time to think

My husband and I did this together. We really really had such a great time discussing why we each came to our separate answers. It made us use our brain in a way we don’t every day. To take the time to stop and think how and why. Not all of them, some came easier than others. We just both enjoy a good challenge.
