“Entertaining”

Lisa G.
1/19/23

The tests were fun. The results for me were favorable although I'm no genius. Opting for the 7 day trial period, it was effortless to call and get through to their friendly and efficient customer service agent. So, go for it!

“Liars and scammers”

No T.
4/9/24

Their site specifically and on multiple pages states their test is free, but when you take their "exam" it tries to force you to pay. When I finally got through to their customer support man, he said "the test is free but the results are not" which is clearly ridiculous and at best incredibly misleading. That's like me telling someone I'll make them dinner for free, then when they go to eat it saying "but I didn't say you could eat it without paying the fee!"

They want you to pay for an IQ test that serves as for only entertainment and cannot be taken seriously. If that's what you're looking for, there's 1000s of them on Facebook. What a joke! Your IQ is seriously low if you pay into this.

Tip for consumers:
If you’re seriously worried about your IQ, find a legitimate source to test yourself

All that work for nothing. I tried it and I knew it could have been a scam, but I did it anyway. They never said it cost money! I will report this website. Scams like this shouldn't exist and they just want money! I wish I could rate it 0 stars! Business is useless and a total scam. I am very disappointed and sad about the outcome. I could write a whole essay about how trashy and horrible this website is!

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE! BEWARE! IT IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME!

I had done an IQ test, in regard to the test itself i didn't feel as though there was enough questions to get an accurate reading. On top of that I had to pay 2 dollars to take it. Only for it to take 30 dollars out not long after. All I wanted was a 1 time test not for it take take money out of my account absolutely not worth the initial 2 dollars let alone the additional 30 it had pulled put of my account. Very dissatisfied I whould give it a zero if I could. Do not subscribe.

Tip for consumers:
Do not subscribe or take the IQ test. It's a scam.

They let you take a test and say they will send results through email but for full results you will need to pay. What they don't tell you is before they send results you have to agree to receive emails from them and third parties then agree to pay their price of $1.99 today and $28 each month with no option of refusing BEFORE they send the first email. Also it says if you need to skip a question you can go back and answer it but if you answer the final question it won't let you go back.

Tip for consumers:
Not sure if they end up providing what they say they will but they do say it is for entertainment purposes only

From the beginning, it is cheating. First, they promise you free quiz, when you finish it they ask you to pay to get results. In the end, when they get your credit card info they will to try charge more. Scam

Wow so I tried it out for a while and loved it. I didn't mind the monthly charge. When I couldn't afford it anymore they were very nice in helping me cancel my subscription. Will get it again when I can. Customer service was very quick and nice!

I took the SAME test three different times...gave different answers on all times...my score was 108 all three times. The first time I took it, I answered questions honestly and correctly...IQ score 108...I knew something was wrong...I have an IQ of over 145. I took the IQ test two more times and gave answers that I knew were were incorrect...Score on both exams were 108. JOKE. SCAM COMPANY...STAY AWAY.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from Brainable...scam company.

Spent 10 minutes completing the tests only to be told I must pay for the result. I had to enter my email to be advised I must pay for the result. I should have reviewed before I participated. The way this is set up seems scammy to me so beware.

Tip for consumers:
This not a purchase. They ask you to complete a test and then ask you to pay for it. I did not see a disclaimer advising this prior to starting. I’m not out any money I just think this is shady business practice

They say they will send your score, Just that they wont. They lead you to believe you will gwe a score for free and if you want a complete analysis then you pay a fee. That is NOT the case. Wire fraud if you ask me

It was all but impossible to cancel subscription and required a separate cancellation site (Pissed Consumer) to do so which they promptly did without any fees.

They don't tell you that there is a payment involved upfront and present itself as a free test. At the end of 20 minute questionnaire, asks for a payment and subscription

I'm not happy with their service, they are completely a rip off, and they don't in any way respect the values of any individuals who care about their own education!

You think you're just requesting test results (one time payment of $1.99) BUT you will soon find out that you've suscribed to monthly service ($27.88) paid up front. Total scam!

It looks like a scam disguised as click bait - and the invitation to take IQ Test does not declare need to pay to see your results!

Looks fraudulent.

They don't care about wasting your time; they just want you to spend money. Won't show you your results unless you pay them, despite advertising as free. If I could give them -3 stars, I would.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't, tbh.

1 Not free, you pay for results.
2 FAKE RESULTS to trick you into buying their product (IQ training apparently)
I am HIP and certified, I am listed somewhere in the 15% highest IQs of my country, i know my real IQ score (mensa) decided to pay the famous 1$ in order to compare results just out of curiosity (and to see if they really had brainteasers adapted to my score) their result said I scored 90 (wich is more than 45 under my actual score from the only internationally valid IQ test)
To wich they claim to have the solution to help me get an higher score if I register to their membership (by not cancelling, because they DO automatically suscribe you)
Deception isn't legal. I have the certifications to prove my real valid score if need be. This site should be taken down.

I will probably test other sites too now that I have seen what kind of trickery these can use.

[[Btw people, dont care about your IQ. HIP has nothing to do with the super power kind of brainiacs in the movies. Real life "gifted" share the same difficulties as autistic people (its actually on the same spectrum of neuro-atypical)
But with more pressure, and more chances of ending up total losers, and feeling like the biggest waste of potential on earth. So if you dont score above average, you are just fine and perfect the way you are. Trust me!]]

Tip for consumers:
Do not

I was tricked. I took their IQ test and couldn't get results without paying for a monthly subscription. Irony.

Took the whole test just to find out that I had to pay to get the results. This is a scam. Don't be fooled.
