Do you believe that it can tell you that accurately? Do you think it would be worth the 17 $?

2-No

If you are expecting an accurate intelligence report don't waste your money. Intelligence isn't only influenced by genetics but by your environment too. This report would only give you part of the picture and it is not something I would take seriously at all.

yes, you can trust it, most of people are just salty because they realistically are not geniuses

[LaSentinelle]

Intelligence is genetically determined as well as many other human features.
However you should keep it in mind that besides your genetics there are many other factors that play a big part in your development - you nutrition, your environment, ecology, your education, your parents' education, their level of income, etc. A person born with predisposition to high intelligence who lives in some brazilian slum and drinks themselves into oblivion every night will never reach their potential. However a person with 'average' intelligence may reach better results than their peers with the same genetical predisposition to average intelligence if they were born into better conditions (wealthier parents with access to high quality, healthy, non-processed food, good schools and universities, good healthcare etc.).
So if you take a bunch of DNA tests and they tell you that you have 'high' or 'above average' intelligence or that you're predisposed to high IQ, it doesn't mean that it's actually the case. Same with 'low' or 'average' intelligence.

No need to buy the report, I can assure anybody who consider paying $17 for this that their intelligence is low without even seeing their DNA.
