“Entertaining”

Lisa G.

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!

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.

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.

On-line I.Q. tests are a SCAM

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 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!

Definitely a scam. Don't get suckered into paying for something on such a short test. No pay no score.

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 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?

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 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."

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!

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.

Took the whole test but left before seeing my score and now my e-mail is being swamped with SPAM. And I can't get it to stop.
