Even offline tests administered by real test agencies tend to be unreliable. Private companies that provide IQ tests very often produce inflated results, because people want to hear that they or their children are "gifted".
Moreover, psychologists are extremely often entirely incompetent, and only rarely succeed in creating tests that produce a result indicative of intelligence rather than contingent social, cultural or environmental factors, or even the test itself.
