“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”

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!"

Don't waste time answering the questions of the test that says "FREE TEST" everywhere because it is NOT. And they don't tell you until the end. I guess the developer has low IQ after all thinking a decent percentage of the people that take it would pay. $#*!ing bull$#*! and waste of time.

I wanted to just see how high or low my IQ was. Complete scam. Said it was free before I took my test, at the end, said that I had to pay to get my results! All they do is IQ tests. Not worth the weekly subscription! Stupid!

Stay away! They say its only $1.99 but then they charge you $19.95 which is over $30.00 Canadian. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
You're in an Agreement with no proof of authorisation on your part or acknowledgement to you from them because once you do become aware of it they will only refund your latest payment if you catch it in time.
There are still two payments that I did not become aware of in time and was not refunded for.

Tip for consumers:
On-line I.Q. tests are a SCAM

You are not aware that this is a simple 20 question test until you take it! You cannot ascertain someone's IQ with 20 questions. So I played along. I tried to cancel the 'subscription' but the site they send you to did not work! I finally called to cancel and the young lady (who was very nice and helpful) worked for basically an answering service. She answered calls for two companies. These people are located in Nicosia Cyprus! It's almost like doing business with a company from China! They are not interested in following our laws even though they do business in our country! These people are as bogus as a football bat! Can you say SCAM?

So they waste your time stating "free IQ test", the questions are easy and halfway through I was all. Why am I doing this? But was commuted. Spoiler alert! They don't even give you your results before asking for money. So it's not free. It's a scam. Had they given me my results and encourage me I sign up to play games or do challenges to better my thinking. I'd have been all for it! But to scam me from the start. I feel pretty dumb and there is no way I'm paying any fees to be lied to.

This site is trash! Lure you in with a free IQ test (posted multiple times that it's free) only to boldly lie at the end to try and trick you into a monthly subscription of garbage. Don't waste your time because you won't get your results without paying!

I did not even get to the point of first payment. They were supposed to send me a code via email so I could sign up for their service. I tried twice. No code sent. Maybe just as well. I think I was about to be drawn into a scam. My big concern is all the personal information I provided them as I filled out the initial paperwork. I wonder if by not becoming a member they did not get my Info? Or did they? Anybody have any ideas?

Represented to be free test and results sent to personal email. I understand that Charges were only to apply if I wanted to read complete results in app. I did not but was still charged for a subscription I did not ask for, multiple times. What I thought was Unsubscribing was ignored. Still trying to get a refund.

Tip for consumers:
That there was a charge as well as a subscription[ion attached to taking the test and receiving the test score ahead of taking it.

I must have a low IQ for falling for their trap! Get you to invest time in a test, then charge you for the results. Worse part is, it's not just $1.99. Terms say you're actually agreeing to their terms by moving forward, and it's a monthly subscription of $27.88 if you don't cancel (which most people won't, because they'll likely forget. Very dishonest form of marketing that damages reputations!

"By clicking continue I agree to the Terms of Service, including the billing terms. I understand that I am enrolling in a 7 day IQ access package for$1.99. If I decide to cancel during the period I will only be charged this amount. Otherwise, I will be charged $27.88 every month until I cancel my subscription, and I may cancel at any time."

I made the mistake of signing up without actually looking into this site. It seems genuine and legit upon first glance, but it is just a money scheme to get a couple bucks out of you. You get a seven day trial for $1.99, but then have to email to cancel or they will charge nearly $30 per month. Any site that requires you to email or call to cancel your subscription is garbage by default. It is so easy to add that feature to your site, but when you know people won't like your "product", of course you want to find a work around. What a shameful practice.

All you have to do is call credit card company and cancel the monthly draft. If it's a bank account you can pay a minimum fee to stop payment which is good for a year. Lol the scams are getting absolutely ridiculous!

Note: If you had money taken out of your account by these people, or were automatically signed up for a recurring subscription without your permission then please report them to the FTC at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/. They will get fined and/or shut down. Do your part to keep the web safe.

Don't waste your time or money on that garbage!

First of all I could tell right off the bat that the test is completely fake. You can't measure IQ with the questions they were asking. Measuring math skill is not the same as IQ. You can improve math score by studying math, you can't improve your real IQ by studying.

Second, after you take the test they don't give you your score unless you pay for the result. They have some lame BS excuse that it costs money to host the test. That's BS! I could write and host that website on my personal computer.

These are the terms I agreed to:

"The following IQ test is designed to test non-verbal intelligence while minimizing cultural or educational biases. It's a culture fair O test that will measure your intellectual ability, entertain you infinitely, and tie your brain in a thousand knots!
After finishing this test you will receive a FREE score delivered by email. You will also have the option to purchase the full results for $1.99. You may not use our site or the information we provide unless you agree to our Terms of Use and agree to use our site for entertainment purposes only."

I did not receive the score for free. Instead, I was instructed to pay to receive the score.

I have to pay 1.99$ just to view my IQ result I tried on a the initial test from an ad. Judging from other review tests they offer are awful. Don't buy-waste of time. Also don't even bother completing their initial IQ test as they won't give you the results for the test until after you have subscribed to the full service. Complete waste of 20 mins!

I checked first to see if the results were free. They said, and I quote, "You will receive a free score delivered by email." Once I finished the test, they refused to send my results unless I signed up for a paid subscription. SCAM! CHEAT! LIE! I hate it when people do things like this. One star, only because there's no way to choose zero.

Brainable, you are bad people.

I usually don't do reviews but i had to on this one. They get your information to start the test to " Discover what your mind can do" and you tag along for 20 minutes which is the test duration and then ask for your money to give you the results. So, if you do not have 20 minutes to waist, ignore the stupid lure!

Answered the 20 questions in the add. Then brainable required payment to see results. Made me mad. I assume they are looking for long term customers. They could prove their worth with one free test result. Their strategy suggest that after paying for example results, the user will be disappointed and not continue. They received my email address. That should be a fair exchange. Like a quick hug after the first date. I will not be seeing brainable again.

I don't mind paying for it...the shady part is they ask for money AFTER you've taken the time to take the test with no indication it will cost when you do it. This is used car dealer level shady. I'd never give this scammy company a penny because of this.

You waste 20 minutes taking a test, then they want to charge you for the results. Why trust a company who deceives you from the start? After taking their test I felt it was my moral obligation to warn others. This company uses deceptive business practices in my opinion.

Don’t spend money with folks that try to deceive you

It is a total scam, just waste of your time. It takes your time for 20 mins then asks you to pay them for results. They do not mention that their service is paid at first. You get to know it after 20 mins. Also the test is a setup and so easy so you pay to see a high IQ.

This is worst site I've ever used. Thank you for making me take an IQ test and then making me pay $30 for it... Your company should be ashamed. In fact I would never consider doing business again. I would like to talk with your higher ups but you guys aren't ready for that. Once again your company is shameful and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

This site doesn't tell you before you spend your time taking the test that you'll have to pay to see your results. It's a minimum of $1.99, and you MUST agree to receive emails from them and 3rd party advertisers before you even get hit with the billing page. What a scam!

Tip for consumers:
Scam to get you to authorize spam emails and then they want you to pay them before you can see the results of your tests.

Did their trial IQ test. After finishing, it required you to give your name and email. After that was done, it brought you to a page to pay for a subscription. I would never had done the test if I knew I would have to buy a subscription to get the results. I will not support a dishonest company.
