These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
This site presents itself as a legitimate IQ testing platform with multilingual support, spatial reasoning tasks, and promises of certified results based on psychological studies. All our antivirus partners, sandbox, and browser blocklists gave it a clean pass with zero flags. The domain is nearly 1 year and 8 months old with valid SSL from Google Trust Services, supporting legitimacy. However, one independent review aggregator rates it very poorly at 1.2/5 from 296 reviews, dragging the average trust to 60/100 despite a high score elsewhere. No phone, address, or social links appear, raising mild concerns for a quiz site that collects user data.

  • Treat iqbrain.org as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  • Share your experience
