IQ tests are probably one of the most controversial tests ever invented. Many claim that the results don’t really reflect anything and they serve only as another way to make money. Furthermore, some even claim that the way that the test is written, it even discriminates certain crowds, making the situation even worse. It’s hard to tell, then, what will people think about Gambling IQ tests, which is exactly what Dr. Robert Wood and Dr. Robert Williams at the University of Lethbridge are doing. By collecting data from online casino sites, they will try to statistically analyze the players’ gambling knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.
In order to get more credible and reliable results, the test can be taken in 7 different languages, including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese and Japanese, so no matter where the online casino player is from, most chances are that there’s a language he understands. It’s also important to clarify that the test is completely anonymous and voluntarily, so you have the option to quit the test at any given time.
The test is composed of 6 brief questionnaires, which will show you how you compare to other online casino players who took the test. Dr. Wood and Dr. Williams hope that the data collected will help researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders gain a better understanding of online gambling and the people who gamble online. Hopefully, all of this will only enhance the players’ experience and make the online casino world a better place to be at.
