Company is a scam. The tests are decent enough, but at the end they ask for $1 which I thought was fair enough. Next day $25US has been deducted from my account for a subscription I certainly didn't sign up for. Now they won't answer the phone, and every time I email them they say my subscription has been canceled and I'll receive my refund in 5 to 10 days...it's been 3 months now.

FRAUD
FRAUD. SCAMMERS! You're best disputing the charge with your credit card. Declare it fraud. If enough people do this, maybe they'll be properly flagged as scammers. Thieves!

Never ever use this company
Never ever use this company. I took their IQ test and selected the $1 box to get the results. I unselected the recurring $29.99 monthly subscription box and just realized I have been billed the last 2 months. Many others have said the same. Don't ever use this company.

Test is fine but they rip you off
This is the review I just left on a post on reddit.
So the craziest thing just happened. I just went through exactly what you described and was wishing I'd found this review before paying the $1. I also unchecked the $29 subscription box and was charged exactly 9 days after the $1. I went on their website and called the number to request a cancelation/refund. I waited 5-10 days like it said and then I waited another 2 weeks. As I was reading this post I decided to cancel my card and get a new number. While I was on the phone with the bank I pulled my account up and literally had just received the $29 refund. I was shocked to say the least. I told the guy never-ending and \* hung up. Right before I made this call I went on the thinkiqacademy and did the refund request over and over until it wouldn't let me do it anymore, then I called the number and requested again there, and then I sent a long ass email about wanting my money back. I didn't stop at sending it once. I sent it probably 40-50 times and then somehow I ended up with a redund.

They say it’s only $1 to read your results but I just found out they’ve been charging my card $29.99 a month for a subscription I NEVER signed up for

If I could give negative
If I could give negative, I would. We signed up for the $1 test but were charged $30. When I tried calling the customer service number, I kept getting disconnected. I’ve been emailing them, but they keep saying I’ll get my refund in 5-7 days. It’s been two weeks, and I still haven’t received anything.

Stay away!
I didn’t even subscribe & it keeps on trying to charge my CC every other day. I even tried to contact their make believe support email. No response. Stay away!

Subscribes to monthly automatically
I did the initial iq test, which was great, it wasn't free, but I was curious and hey, why not, it's only 1.00.
Except it wasn't, even though I specifically chose not to subscribe, I was charged the 29.99 for the subscription. I immediately called customer service and requested to cancel and get a refund. No refund was processed. A few weeks later, I tried calling, but the system requests a customer id that I obviously don't have, because I didn't subscribe. I tried to access my profile, I don't have any information and no email came when I clicked on the forgot password field.
I followed up with a direct email, the response was quick, I was assured that any subscription was canceled (I didn't have any more charges, so I do believe it was canceled) and that any pending charges can take 5-7 business days. I just had to email again because I still don't have a refund. I may have to go through my bank.
