False Promises of Free Results.
I was directed to the IQ Institute website after clicking on an advertisement for Free IQ Testing with Free Results. The IQ testing was free, although it did not appear to be a commonly accepted type of standardized test. The promise of free results however, was entirely misleading. To gain access to personal test results, signing up for a paid subscription is required. The quick response given to this review by IQ Institute stated the following: "The test itself can be taken without payment, while the full detailed report and extended analysis are offered as an optional paid upgrade for users who wish to access additional insights. We aim to present this information clearly during the process so users can make an informed decision before proceeding. Feedback like yours is valuable, as it helps us continue improving transparency, communication, and the overall user experience" THE HEADING OF THE ADVERTISMENT I CLICKED ON SAYS WORD FOR WORD: "FREE IQ TEST WITH FREE RESULTS" There is nothing transparent about advertising test results for free, allowing a user to spend time completing the test, then upon completion not just one payment, but an ongoing subscription. PAYING FOR SOMETHING MEANS IT IS NOT FREE.
