Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.

If you don't pay, you don't see the results.

The test is free, but not seeing the results.

It's very infuriating, especially from this website, because it's a 40 questions test which require some thought. You can easily waste 30-40 minutes before getting asked your email for getting the result "on a safe link", for additional verification. Then you click the link via email (confirming that your email is valid and you can receive spam) and you get those fake loading bars that take like 2 minutes

✔️ Loading results
✔️ Reading all your responses
✔️ Elaborating your score
✔️ Comparing your score with other people
✔️ Generating your certificate
✔️ Fetching your certificate

And only then, when your patience is almost gone, and your expectations are at the top, they ask for a symbolic payment to "maintain their service". What to do? Rage quit after having wasted one hour on this scam or pay the $2?
