Each criterion is evaluated by a named ICAS reviewer and is subject to editorial review before publication. See our Methodology for the full scoring rubric.
This section will document whether [Platform Name] publishes psychometric foundations for its tests, including validation studies, normative sample details, test-retest reliability coefficients, and references to peer-reviewed research. It will also note whether IQ or cognitive scores are normed against a representative population and whether the norming methodology is disclosed.
[Evaluation findings will appear here upon review completion.]
This section will assess how clearly [Platform Name] explains what a reported score represents, how it is calculated from item responses, and what its margin of error or confidence interval is. It will note whether the platform distinguishes between a screening estimate and a clinically validated IQ score.
[Evaluation findings will appear here upon review completion.]
This section will evaluate whether the total cost of obtaining a full results report is disclosed before the user begins the assessment. It will document any upsell steps, whether pricing requires an email submission to reveal, and whether free previews lead to paid report gates without prior disclosure.
[Evaluation findings will appear here upon review completion.]
This section will examine whether [Platform Name] uses recurring billing, whether subscriptions are clearly disclosed at purchase, whether cancellation can be completed online without contacting support, and whether the refund policy is prominently displayed. Common dark patterns (pre-checked renewals, hidden trial conversions) will be noted explicitly.
[Evaluation findings will appear here upon review completion.]
This section will summarize what personal and psychometric data [Platform Name] collects, how long it is retained, whether it is shared with or sold to third parties, and what rights users have to request deletion. Privacy policy accessibility and clarity will be noted, along with any evidence of third-party advertising trackers present during the assessment flow.
[Evaluation findings will appear here upon review completion.]
This section will aggregate user-reported feedback from verified review sources. It will note recurring themes in positive and negative feedback, with particular attention to complaints about billing, score usefulness, and customer support responsiveness. ICAS does not publish raw user ratings; this criterion reflects a structured synthesis of publicly available reports.
