Welcome to the REAL-IQ test!
The most practical IQ test in the world.
PREFACE
This test is intended to provide a fast, intuitive and practical way to measure the general IQ of a person. While there are many IQ tests out there, claiming to assess general IQ, we believe them to be impractical and too isolated from a real-world perspective. We therefore invented the REAL-IQ test in order to show that IQ.
How it works
If you are interested in how this test works you are free to continue, it won't affect the outcome of the test. We can assume, that if you already reached this section you are reading careful enough to also read the prompt messages of the test.
We will prompt you a modal in exactly 3 seconds, so you might not be able to read this passage. We will fake a typical cookie-consent prompt, asking you to either "accept all" or "manage settings". Accepting all leads to a zero score and you can consider yourself ignorant and cognitive mediocre. If you, however manage settings you will be rewarded points for each tracking option you disable. The more you disable (including hidden options), the higher your score.
How we score results
We neither use a valid instrument, nor do we apply any scientific method to score the results. Every score beyond 0 (which means, the users has "accepted all" tracking) can be considered to reflect some sort of cognitive ability.

Your REAL-IQ score is:
Congratulations, you passed the test!
You can feel good about your decision! The test was about your ability to manage your privacy settings actively and consciously and not being a mindless zombie that accepts anything to gain instant satisfaction from online content.
Wait, what? Why did I fail?
Face it, you failed the test miserably! The test was about your ability to manage your privacy settings actively and consciously and not being a mindless zombie that accepts anything to gain instant satisfaction from online content.
You didn't read at all and simply "accepted anything" we could have done with your data. Since you gave an explicit consent, there would be marginal to zero chances for enforcing your rights through legal means retrospectively in case your decision led to severe personal consequences. This means "game over", because "accept anything" could mean among the following:
- Sell your data to third-party vendors like ad-networks, banks, insurance companies, profiling agencies
- Send your data (messages, comments, likes/don't likes) to authorities
- Track your GPS position and create a movement profile
- Uniquely identify you across other sites via fingerprinting
- Create a profile of your daily behavior, event if you are not actively using this site
- Track you across the web and merge this data with the data, collected on other sites
Why should I care?
The consequences of your decision are usually not instantly but can be severe:
- Foreign countries can refuse entry or in worst case detain you, based on data they legally gathered about you.
- Health insurances and healthcare providers can refuse you certain plans and services, based on lifestyle data they legally gathered about you.
- Banks can reuse certain services like credits or creating accounts, based on financial data they legally gathered about you.
- You can become a target of manipulation, because a mental profile could be created the more data you legally share by consent. In worst cases this manipulation can target drastic decisions for life like government elections or adventurous financial investments.
