IQ test pop-ups

I have been seeing these things on my phone multiple times every day. The images vary so they apparently come from several entities.

If you take them they ask for payment, your e-mail and personal details for their further use.

In previous years I very rarely saw such things.

Has anyone else had this happening frequently?

I've been seeing them, it's another piece of info that data brokers can add to their marketing products. My bet is those that pay for the results get a higher rating than everyone else does so they can butter them up into selling them some sort of improvement product.

That seems probable.
I took one of the "tests" and answered the questions randomly
While the test was running it kept on telling me that I was faster than some percentage of others, but it insisted on getting an e-mail address before giving test results.


I gave a fake e-mail but it did not provide any more info.

What piqued my curiousity was that at the top of the screen it had a lateral scroll giving flags (presumable of the country where the testee was located) names and scores of those who recently took the test

Out of the fifteen to twenty names I saw on the screen the highest score was 104, and almost half of them were in the 80's.....not very good results.
