It says > A newer test (complete, free) is at https://iqpro.org/. This site asks you 60 test questions, then asks for your personal data, then charges 20 Euros to show how you scored.


The justification on the main page doesn't inspire confidence:

> IQ test reports costs 19.99 due to increased costs associated with collection, updation and normalization of data.


The real IQ test is whether or not you'll pay $20 on that justification


What if you are very reach and $20 means nothing to your (I myself poor, $20 is big deal for me)


Take this test instead: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/FSIQ/ It's free and IMO the best of the free tests.


I'm skeptical, given that first section is testing vocab -- not "infer what this word means from context", but just straight-up "how many words do you know", which I don't think has much to do with intelligence (whatever that means).


At the end you'll get separate results for Memory IQ, Verbal IQ and Spatial IQ in addition to the overall score. So if you don't think knowing words has to do with intelligence, you can just ignore the verbal part.


I'm skeptical of other parts of it as well; for example, one of the memory sections uses logos from popular software projects (inkscape, gnome, etc). It was a lot easier to remember the logos I'd seen before vs the ones I hadn't.

I think it's a neat test, and I'm curious to compare results with my friend who's an artist (I found the visual components challenging). But it seems less robust than something like ravens matrices.

It is a gullibility test masquerading as an IQ test.
