RiotIQ Arvostelua 

The test quality is meh, but it's extremely oversold. For one, they lie about their normative sample. They claim it's 1600+ when in reality it's only about 500, and the age bands are ridiculously wide (I believe there are only three when most professional tests usually have 10-30). A lot of the subtests are also poorly designed. Verbal reasoning, for example, has a discontinue rule when the items are randomized, and this causes wild variability in scores.

And for those who don't know, this company is also *extremely* shady. The online communities they run (especially on Reddit) are chock-full of bots pretending to talk with each other. They were banned on this exact website before also for botting reviews, which I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing again, and their old reddit community (r/RiotIQ) was banned. You can see the new one on reddit (r/RiotIQTest) and witness the bot conversations for yourself.

The test is also extremely overpriced. Their whole selling point is that one guy on the team has credentials like this gives their test some kind of magical quality, even though the items were made largely by a video game developer with no psychometrics experience. There are plenty of online alternatives which are free and can provide an estimate of your IQ that is just as accurate, if not more. No need to pay the exorbitant 50 bucks for the middling experience of taking this test.

RIOT started out as an admirable project. They claimed the RIOT would be the first free, open-source IQ test, but now gatekeep all technical documentation of their test because of the serious problems in their factor model that they don't want people to notice (see the paper "An Independent Analysis of the RIOT IQ Test" that they've conveniently ignored even though it was brought directly to their attention). It seems like the RIOT team's mission has shifted from creating a genuinely useful instrument and caring about the empirical details to just shilling their test relentlessly.

If you want to take a professional IQ test, have a psychologist give you the WAIS or Stanford-Binet. If you want to take an IQ test developed by a "professional," you can take the RIOT. There's a difference between the two.

Its a total scam. Dont waste your time. The company lies about first free test and forces you to buy license to continue

I have taken an official test administered by a psychologist, and the results from this test were completely different. NOT CREDIBLE

I am disenchanted with Riot IQ. I have been following Riot IQ for quite a while and was excited during its development. I was considering administering Riot IQ at one point as a quick and free cognitive assessment for my patients. However, as a consumer, "free" is the operative word; Riot IQ was going to be a free online test for 'the people as a whole' which would rival the WAIS-IV and make intelligence testing more accessible, but from my perspective, it seems monetary incentives spoke louder and they pivoted.

Nowadays, their test is built to look like established measures such as the WAIS-IV, but lacks in proper psychometric data, validation, and standardization (which is exactly what makes real assessments meaningful). Their scant norms appear to be based on participants from Prolific -- a place where people take online surveys for a bit of cash -- data is questionable based on how Prolific samples usually look. The norms are relatively lackluster as a result, so I sadly regret taking Riot IQ.

The online community around Riot IQ might disappoint you as well. Their subreddit is filled with low-effort, repetitive promotion, and many accounts seem focused on shutting down criticism rather than discussing limitations. Meanwhile, developers seem to be putting far more effort into advertising and branding, instead of improving their assessment.

There have unfortunately been an influx of products like Riot IQ lately; commercial products which function as diluted echoes of well-validated tests like the WAIS-IV, in contrast to products which actually break ground and contribute meaningfully to psychometrics... so I highly do not recommend Riot IQ for anyone genuinely looking for accurate results, but I guess I can respect the hustle.

I thought the test overall was very good. It's consistent with my academic and professional record. I expected lower scores overall, so it was a nice surprise. I had two scores lower than what I expected. For computation, my somewhat slow reaction time made it hard to click the answer in time. Since the next question pops up when the previous question's time expires, I'd answer the next question wrongly without being able to read it. That's the only subtest where I'm pretty sure I'm more capable than the score indicated (although maybe not by much). For abstract matching, it was my second-lowest percentile, but I thought it was one of the easiest subtests in the moment. It's a good reminder to be humble. No UI or reaction time issues there. I really enjoyed the test, learned about my cognitive profile, and found a blind spot.

Great experience, test is thorough and unlike anything I've taken online! Highly recommend.

Excellent IQ test. Easy to navigate and love how my results were broken down. Very helpful knowing what my strengths and weaknesses are. Highly recommend.

Very professional and trustworthy. You can tell that they use scientific-based testing. They're also very affordable.

RIOT IQ test was a great experience. I liked the UI and found the results credible given its professional development. I would definitely recommend it!

Not usually a huge believer in IQ tests but this one is unique and much more intuitive than any others I’ve come across. Great experience!

I have been following the development of the RIOT for a few months now, as I was hoping to corroborate the scores I received on a professional test. As many will be aware, the majority (or even the totality) of online IQ tests range from poor, invalid and unreliable (at best) to outright scams. I could see the potential for a genuine online IQ test that could be comparable to the WAIS or Stanford Binet, and was excited to hear about the development of the RIOT. Well, it has been released and after taking the test and seeing my results, I can confirm that my hopes have been fulfilled. This is, in my opinion, the best online IQ test available, which would not really be saying much based on the poor quality of other online tests, but the RIOT is far beyond anything else available. Annecdotally, my scores were similar enough to my professional tests to give me confidence in the RIOT results. And other people I know who have taken the test have reported a similar experience. If you want to know more about your cognitive abilities, purely for curiousity, then this is the test to take. As someone who has had numerous tests with professionals over the years, I can recommend it wholeheartedly. To me, it is indistinguishable from these tests in terms of quality. The only difference is the method of delivery, which itself is of a high quality and very easy to use. Great work, RIOT IQ! I am one very happy customer!

The people at Riot IQ are great and what they're doing is seriously needed. I've been on their discord for a while, read a ton of the stuff they're doing. This is all rooted in science and far from a scam. They've been working on it for years and even offer a free test for people who might not be interested in paying for a full test. They offer refunds if you're not happy with the experience and have been pretty open this is still in beta. How can it be a scam?

I took the test today and it went perfectly. Ebery subtest was explained clearly and the length and type of questions all seemed fair. Their team is always available for any issues.

It's pretty obvious to me the negative reviews are coming from the same people who love to ostracized the whole field because it goes against their beliefs.

Everything about this IQ test is fishy and played out. The norms are WAY off and yet its advertised as the best in the world. What a fraud you guys. I'm a licensed psychologist and let me say this is a FRAUD and a SCAM. Manipulation moggers for sure, doing everything they can to cover up the truth with fake 5-star reviews. Shame on you!!!

This test is really incredible. I love that it measures intelligence holistically over a large number of subtests unlike other IQ tests online. It was also really fun to take. They also really go into the details about the scientific accuracy and legitimacy so I feel like the scores you get are actually real and not just loose estimates.

This is a terribly self-advertised test created by a team of criminals. Really that's what these guys are. They made every possible false claim possible just to take advantage of good natured people. I say this because I know IQ tests well, and I took this test the second it came out. I waited for literally over a year for it. I was shocked and thought i was being trolled, however when I looked at the calendar i realized no, this is not April 1st.

Awesome experience. Having taken many IQ tests over the course of my life, this was a very well-designed test. Interfacing with the platform was simple/straightforward, and the user experience is just enjoyable. Give me equity in this company!! 🚀

I took the full riot iq test and my experience was amazing. The final score was similar to other tests I've taken previously and the testing experience was super intuitive.
But beyond the final score, the analysis of my performance in the subtests told me a lot about myself, strengths and weaknesses.

I highly recommend the test for anyone interested.

It's truly impressive to see such a strong first release for an online professional testing option, something many of us have been hoping for! This test introduces some genuinely interesting and novel items across key components of intelligence, including processing speed, working memory, and visuospatial capacity. This alone speaks volumes about its potential.

The foundation of this service are incredibly promising and this initial offering is a quality experience and clearly a credible step forward. With the addition of more verbal questions and some subtle refinements, this test has strong and genuine potential to become a leading professional assessment. It's exciting to finally have such a promising option available.

This was a polished, streamlined test and my result exactly matched a previous professionally administered test.

I waited and waited for this test to come out and I have to be completely honest, I was a little bit disappointed. It just wasn't the excellent, beautiful thing I thought it was going to be, sorry. I took the free version, but was also a bit down that it has a pay scale.
