📝 Editorial Policy

IQ Spark publishes educational material about intelligence testing, score interpretation, and related school or assessment topics. We aim to make those subjects easier to understand without overstating what an online tool can do.

Pages are prepared by the IQ Spark editorial team. We summarize public information for general readers and revise wording when a page is too broad, too absolute, or too easy to misunderstand.

When discussing tests or educational decisions, we prefer well-known manuals, public-interest guidance, and established overview sources instead of anonymous claims or unverifiable reviewer labels.

Before a page is published or kept in the main index, we check whether it directly supports the site's purpose: helping users understand matrix-style reasoning, score bands, and the limits of browser-based feedback. Pages that drift into broad health, career, personality, or lifestyle advice are removed from the main index or marked as not intended for search traffic.

• Test publisher manuals and official assessment overviews for psychometric topics
• Government health or education agencies for public-interest background information
• Established textbooks or review-style reference works for historical or conceptual topics

We avoid presenting unsupported claims as expert consensus. If a claim cannot be explained clearly or sourced responsibly, we remove or soften it.

We do not use anonymous AI-style filler, copied article structures, or invented expert quotes to make pages look more authoritative. When a topic requires professional judgment, the article should say that plainly and direct readers toward a qualified evaluator instead of trying to answer beyond the site's scope.

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. We also review the sitemap after larger content changes so thin, duplicate, or off-topic pages do not remain part of the primary site surface.

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 header, footer, and sitemap.
