Do you have to pay for the IQ test?

Answer 1

If you need to have a properly-controlled professionally-administered IQ test you will need to pay for it. Any practising psychologist should be able to perform such a test, and the results will be acceptable for use in, for example, your cv, Job Applications, and so on.

Before you pay for an IQ test, be sure you really need one. If it's for job applications, find out whether your prospective employers actually want this kind of information: they may not.

You can find free IQ tests in bookstores, libraries, and on the internet. These tests don't return accurate results and are worth precisely what you pay for them.

They're mainly used by people who want to brag about having a high IQ: this is frequently seen as a sign those people aren't very smart, because most people are aware of how easy it is to deliberately make these free tests show the hopeful high-IQ person as much smarter than they are.

Free personality tests, and other such things, are just as worthless. The best way to show others you're smart is to talk less and think more, about subjects other than yourself.

Answer 2

Yes, IQ tests typically involve a fee whether you take it online or through a professional psychologist. Some online resources may offer free IQ tests, but they may not be as accurate or comprehensive as paid versions.
