I'm afraid not.
Most online IQ tests rely on speed over accuracy so much so that you could click through without answering a single question and get an IQ of 170+.

No wonder everyone who takes the Raven test online is in the 95 percentile!
This Ravens-type test has been pretty consistent with my official scores.
Ravens (and other non-verbal IQ tests) are supposed to be more accurate for auties than verbal IQ tests, like Cattell and the Wonderlic. (I had a 4-8 point difference [sd = 15].)
The WAIS-IV includes both kinds of tests, where I had an 18 point difference [sd = 15].
One way to test the integrity of an online IQ test is to answer using the worst choice answers and seeing if it will give you an unflattering score. Bad tests will give you a flattering score no matter how you answer them.
Yes, my IQ was I believe accurately documented for me by Mensa, an organization which tests for people
whose tested IQs are in the top two (2) percentile. Mensa has an online exam that anyone one can take
anytime, and Mensa will score it for you and email your test score to you along with your percentile ranking
and useful comments to help you get a sense of where you stand against others who took the test.
Mensa explained to me as a part of my score notification that on their examination the very larger part of
of all their test takers score at or around 98IQ, which in the United States as I understand from Mensa is the national
average score.
Was that a verbal (using words) or non-verbal (using pictures) test? We auties tend to do significantly better on the latter (and they are more accurate for us).
Bit of both.
