IQ Test is committed to rigorous factual integrity, psychometric accuracy, and complete consumer transparency. Every guide on this property is grounded in established cognitive science, cites peer-reviewed research, and upholds our explicit position that online self-insight quizzes are not clinical diagnostic instruments.
Our core editorial commitments
At IQ Test (published by APEX Business Systems Ltd. in Edmonton, Alberta), we believe cognitive tools should be informative, engaging, and ruthlessly honest about their capabilities and limitations.
1. Psychometric accuracy and evidence-based content
All explanations of score distributions, standard deviations, and cognitive domains adhere strictly to published psychometric literature, including:
The Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) theory of cognitive abilities.
Standard deviation-15 Gaussian normal distribution models.
Published historical research on intelligence testing (Binet, Terman, Wechsler, Cox, Flynn).
2. Complete non-clinical transparency
We maintain an absolute legal and ethical boundary: this property does not provide clinical, psychological, or medical diagnoses. We will never:
Claim that an online quiz score can diagnose cognitive impairments or ADHD.
Advertise our assessment as an official clinical evaluation.
Conflate self-reflection quiz scores with supervised clinical psychologist evaluations.
3. Zero fabrication and historical honesty
When presenting historical figures, we state plainly that no modern IQ test records exist for figures like Einstein, Newton, or Da Vinci. All historical figures are discussed through the lens of their documented problem-solving styles, not fictitious numbers presented as clinical fact.
4. Pricing transparency and anti-subscription guarantee
We reject deceptive subscription billing. Our business model is straightforward:
Free cognitive index score and percentile shown immediately on completion.
Optional detailed reports available for flat, one-time fees ($1.99 to $6.99).
Zero hidden recurring charges or subscription traps.
5. Corrections and editorial inquiries
If you identify an error, broken citation, or factual inaccuracy in any of our technical guides, please contact our editorial team directly at support@iq-test.icu. Corrections are reviewed and updated promptly.
