📝 Editorial Policy

IQ Spark publishes first-party documentation for its pattern-reasoning exercise and a small set of background guides needed to interpret it responsibly. The goal is to let a reader verify how the application works, where a claim came from, and where an online exercise stops being useful.

Emircan Agac owns, develops, and publishes IQ Spark. Pages use his name when he is responsible for the work. We do not use a collective "editorial team" byline or claim professional review when no identifiable reviewer participated.

The publisher's direct experience covers the application's implementation, item inventory, browser behavior, and scoring code. It does not establish clinical or psychometric expertise. Pages state that limitation and refer high-stakes questions to qualified professionals.

• Application-specific claims must be reproducible from IQ Spark's current item bank or code.
• Claims about named tests use the test publisher's official documentation where available.
• Claims about validity, fairness, and testing practice use professional standards or primary research.
• Every background guide includes direct links to the sources most important to its conclusions.

A source list is not enough by itself. The article must explain how the cited material supports the specific statement and must separate facts about a professional instrument from facts about IQ Spark. Unsupported numerical claims, retrospective celebrity scores, medical advice, and broad lifestyle promises are outside the publication scope.

The technical report, scoring guide, and worked examples are the project's primary documentation. When implementation changes, those pages are updated before a background article is used to describe the product.

Documentation includes version or review dates, known limitations, and negative evidence such as missing norming, reliability, accessibility, or independent-review work. A limitation is not removed merely because it makes the product sound less impressive.

IQ Spark content is not medical advice, psychological diagnosis, school-placement advice, or legal guidance. Articles and scores are published for general education only.

We update pages when claims need clarification, when transparency can be improved, or when users point out mistakes. To report an issue, email iqsparktest@gmail.com with the page URL and the correction you recommend.

Corrections are handled by reviewing the specific claim, comparing it with the source standards above, and either updating the language, adding a clearer limitation, or removing the claim.

Major scoring or methodology changes are reflected on the methodology and scoring pages rather than buried in blog posts. This keeps the most important product information easy to find from the main navigation.
