Testable Minds is a platform where researchers from the world’s most prestigious universities will recruit participants for their psychological and behavioral experiments. The experiments are conducted online, and allow the researchers to have insights from a much wider pool of audience.

So instead of conducting psychological studies locally (usually within the University), they can leverage the power of the Internet to expand their dataset globally.

In short, Testable Minds conducts psychological/behavioral experiments on people like us. You participate in online studies and get paid via Paypal and Revolut.

Is Testable Minds a genuine platform?

Hell yeah! Testable Minds is a legitimate platform. The pay is excellent when compared to other survey sites. This is because unlike any survey site, Testable Minds is a Research study site.

I can say this is one of the best Beer money sites available out there. Many websites offer paid studies, but unfortunately, most of them are country-specific.

For example, Prolific is a well-noted research survey site, but it is not available in many countries. Testable Minds is a global site. I saw many people who spend hours on surveys and get frustrated but Testable Minds pays a fair amount for the effort you put in the study.

Moreover, unlike survey sites which ask you uncomfortable questions regarding your spending habits and daily activities, Testable Minds lets you participate in interesting studies that are actually fun to indulge in. The studies also explain it’s purpose, and how your responses will be judged (if you are interested in psychology).

This makes the experience much more authentic than those sneaky survey websites, which would abandon you half-way through the survey, saying you are not a match.

A lot of new sites similar to Testable Minds has been launched since this article was written. Though the process isn’t as streamlined, you can earn while participating in fun psychological studies. Check this article for more info.

How much can I earn from Testable Minds?

That depends on you. You must be proactive because most of the Studies come and go without a trace. Every study has a limited number of participants that it is looking for, so they are filled within 15–30 minutes. You can easily make 10–15$ every week (if you are working actively).

However, there’s a catch. They cannot pay you more than 50$ a month. So that would kind of cap your earnings. You can still participate in more studies, but your withdrawal per month cannot be more than 50$.

Update: People have earned more than 50$ in a month from it, so I guess this rule is no longer imposed on Testable Minds.

All the studies will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. So be quick and grab them as soon as they appear. It is kind of a cut-throat competition out there.

How much do studies usually pay?

The pay rate varies from study to study. Some studies pay as low as 0.5$ while some studies pay even 21$. On an average, expect atleast a dollar or above from each study.

The pay rate depends upon the length and complexity of the study. So if you participate in longer and more complex studies, you can earn much more. Last week, I participated in a study that paid 6$ and took around 20 minutes to complete. Fair compensation according to me.

Once the study is complete, and the researcher approves your participation, the money for that study will be payable. One should have a verified PayPal account to receive payments. Testable Minds pays weekly. Generally, you receive your payments on Tuesday.

The minimum withdrawal amount is 10$ for your first withdrawal. Afterwards, it’s just 1$. However, PayPal typically charges a small nominal fee. PayPal charges up to one dollar for every Ten dollars withdrawals.

If you do not have a PayPal account, you can create one for free on the PayPal website. PayPal is effective and secure in terms of the transfer of money, with your wallet securely encrypted all day, every day.

They also pay through Revolut; there are no withdrawal limits and no nominal charges on Revolt, but unfortunately, it is not available in many countries yet.

There are no limits to participation. You can participate in all the studies available to you. However, you can only withdraw 50$ for a month; the remaining balance for the studies will continue to credit to your Testable Minds wallet, which you can withdraw in the coming month.
