REVIEW
ultimateIQtest is a quiz that won't tell you your IQ.
Aristomax Technologies has shipped a generic multiple-choice quiz to Samsung Tizen and labelled it an IQ test. The format has nothing to do with how IQ is actually measured, and the product has nothing to do with why anyone would care.

The phrase “IQ test” does specific work in consumer software. It promises a standardised, psychometric measurement of cognitive ability — the kind of assessment a clinical psychologist administers, scores against a normed population, and reports as a number with statistical meaning. ultimateIQtest does none of those things. It is a generic multiple-choice quiz with a few pattern-recognition items, a few arithmetic items, and a self-invented scoring formula that produces a number at the end. Calling that an IQ test is not a description; it is a marketing decision.
The Tizen TV store has accumulated a long tail of small developers shipping the same five or six product templates under different keyword-optimised names. ultimateIQtest is one of three Aristomax Technologies apps reviewed in this batch, all built on the same scaffolding and all released within a month of each other. None of them are designed for TV viewing distance, none of them solve a problem the phone doesn’t already solve better, and none of them have the editorial care that distinguishes a quiz worth playing from a quiz worth ignoring.
For a Samsung TV owner who genuinely wants to know something about their cognitive ability, the answer is not a free TV-store app. For a household that wants to play a casual quiz together, the established trivia platforms are designed for that and worth their price. ultimateIQtest is the third option, and the third option is to pass.
Real IQ tests are administered by psychologists. ultimateIQtest is a free Tizen app pretending the difference doesn't matter.
FEATURES
ultimateIQtest is a multiple-choice quiz app from Aristomax Technologies, released to the Samsung Tizen TV store in April 2026. The product positions itself as an "IQ test" but does not implement any of the standardised assessments (WAIS, Stanford-Binet, Raven's Progressive Matrices) that working psychometric instruments use.
The actual format is a multiple-choice question stream — pattern recognition, simple arithmetic, basic logic, vocabulary — with a numeric "score" assigned at the end of a session. There is no normed scoring, no age adjustment, no comparison to a standardised population. The output number is a function of the app's internal weighting, not a real intelligence measure.
Played via the Samsung TV remote: directional pad to select an answer, OK to confirm. Free, with the same opaque monetization model as the rest of the developer's Tizen submissions.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Multiple-choice quiz apps are a known and unobjectionable category. As a casual quiz on a TV, ultimateIQtest's questions appear to be functional — they have correct answers, the scoring tallies, and a session reaches a recognisable end state.
That is the case for the app at its most generous reading: a casual quiz that users have agreed to take in the spirit of a casual quiz, with no expectation that the result corresponds to anything real.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The framing is the largest problem. Calling a generic multiple-choice quiz an "IQ test" is misleading in a way that affects how users interpret their results, and there is no in-app caveat explaining that the score has no psychometric basis. Real IQ assessments are administered by qualified psychologists in controlled conditions; this app sits in a long lineage of consumer quizzes that exploit the IQ label for engagement.
The questions are not original. The pattern-recognition and logic items appear to be drawn from the same public quiz banks that populate dozens of Play Store IQ-quiz apps, and the question count and variety are too thin to support repeat play.
TV form factor adds nothing. A multiple-choice quiz on a TV remote is slower than the same quiz on a phone, and there is no social or co-viewing element designed to take advantage of the larger screen — no team mode, no on-screen QR code for second-device participation, no host-and-player split.
CONCLUSION
Don't install this. If you want a casual quiz to play on a TV with other people in the room, the established trivia platforms (Jackbox, QuizUp-style apps) are designed for that use case. If you actually want to know your IQ, see a psychologist. ultimateIQtest is shovelware exploiting a search keyword, and the Samsung TV is the wrong screen for it regardless.
