Psychometric test for kids– accurate?

I recently found a psychometric test for kids called PsychUp Education; it gives a report on their learning style, and my kids also had fun doing it as it's framed in a fantasy game.
Wondering if anyone else has checked it out? And how accurate it is? thanks!

Well learning styles have been debunked for ages, so probably not that accurate! But will do no harm to do for fun.

Psychometric tests are akin to horoscopes so treat them as such. Kind of fun but take it with a pinch of salt

Psychometric tests are only ever cursory screenings, even where evidence based and administered by a professional (which is doesn't sound like this one is). I wouldn't give it too much consideration tbh.

Snake oil salesmen!

Learning styles have no scientific grounding to them so if it's peddling those, it's definitely snake oil.
