Avoid

Avoid. The site is a scam. My child used credit card details which were logged on Google Chrome to pay for an IQ test. Soon after, I discover that she had unknowingly "subscribed" to a costly annual subscription service. I had no way of cancelling and the site did not reply to emails. Following a "disputed transaction" with our card prover funds were recovered.

Total disappointment

Total disappointment. They act legit but all they want is your payment info. Feels like a subscription scam.

Scammed out of £39.99

Scammed out of £39.99. They tell you they're only charging you £0.49 then they rip you off. The test doesn't even constitute any offical indication of your IQ, which can only be ascertained by a psychiatrist.

Stay far away! These fraudsters try to make you pay for the test and automatically signs you up for a 40 pounds per month subscription which they bill from you card.

It was a great experience

It was a great experience. The test was good and it was a challenging and humbling experience. There were some issues with the billings and the company responded very fast and professionally.
