Bringing Justice to Online IQ Scammers

Online IQ tests are a scam. They are pure garbage, not research backed, money grabs. Just search on google right now and scroll. I can tell you for a fact, after developing an IQ test & platform over the last 10 months, that building an IQ test is actually hard. Very hard. It is not something you slap together and throw into a website like all these online scammers are doing.

To be honest, when I discovered how many fake IQ tests actually existed online, and just how much money these scammers were making off of the innocent average google dweller… it pissed me off. I must admit, I love justice, and justice was an absolute non-zero factor in my decision to dive headfirst into building a new era and standard of online IQ testing with RIOT to finally bring something legitimate to the table.

Our research team has been going all in for 10 months, doing this full-time, from first principles, with a leading professional intelligence researcher, and a top tier engineering team. Over the last year we have learned a ton about the space, become extremely close to individuals within it, presented at ISIR, and feel more in touch with the intelligence research community then ever. We are doing this the right way. As a builder, always build things the right way. Don't take shortcuts.

As a cherry on top of building something the right way, I will enjoy purging google of scammers making money off of innocent IQ test takers.

Sometimes, justice is a great motivator. I am sure some Warhammer Space Marine said it better than I could:

“Burn the heretics, and purge the unclean!”

but don’t quote me on that.
