I just came across with this question and it really attracted my attention. I hope I am not too late to answer it. Either way I am leaving my input so that other readers can benefit from it too in the future.
Answering to it, there are two types of online IQ tests: The online versions of the conventional tests psychologists have always used face-to-face, such as the Raven’s Progressive Matrices, and commercial online IQ tests targeted at the general public, widely and freely available throughout the Internet.
If you need a reliable and professional instrument to use with diagnostic or educational purposes, then the latter is the way to go:
However, note you must be a certified professional in the field of psychology in order to use it (in addition, it is not free).
If the use case of such IQ tests is going to be recreational, for training and practice purposes, or just to obtain a broad estimate of soeone’s IQ, then the sites I have found most reliable in the past are the following:
(This IQ test is completely free): https://free-iqtest.org/
(This one is also completely free): https://iqubelab.com/free-iq-test
(This IQ test is a more “official” and “professional” version, though not free): https://official-iqtest.org/
Hope I have been of help

This might be useful for anyone reading this thread:
Sarah-Jayne Blakemore's lab have an open access online non-verbal reasoning (MARS) task, with validity and reliability data. Whilst the data is not normalised across a large population and so cannot be called an IQ test, perhaps this task could be used as a proxy-IQ measure (and participants could be matched on their non-verbal reasoning scores for example).

Dear friends colleagues, have you ever received an invitation to publish your work at InTech Open Science (https://www.intechopen.com/)? I have recently been invited to edit a new book title for them. I am usually suspicious with such invitations and must check the authenticity of the publisher first. Interestingly, they claim that they have published the work for two recent Nobel Laureates. Therefore, I would appreciate your experience and opinions regarding InTech Open Science.
Kind regards,
