Testable Minds

Lend your mind to science

Take part in real psychology and behavioral studies from world-leading universities. Fair pay on every study, free instant withdrawals, and humans — not chatbots — when you need help.

Four promises, before you sign up

$12/hour

Fair pay, enforced

Verified Minds earn at least $12/hour on every study — $8/hour if you haven’t verified yet. The platform enforces it, so you never have to check.

$0 fees

Your money is yours

We charge nothing on withdrawals. Cash out to Revolut instantly and free, or use PayPal — and your balance never expires.

Humans

Real people on support

Every question and every dispute is read and answered by a person. No chatbot walls, no silent bans.

Science

Work that matters

Every study is reviewed by us before it reaches you, and broken studies are pulled automatically. Your time feeds real research.

Studies show the reward and estimated time up front, and you can see who the researcher is — including how quickly they approve and pay.

To us, you’re more than just a datapoint.

Testable Minds is the participant pool behind research at the world’s leading universities. When you take a study here, you’re not filling a quota — you’re helping someone understand how the mind works, and getting paid fairly for it.

This is a community with a genuine interest in helping science, not a labour market or just another money-making website. To keep it that way — and to keep the research honest — individual earnings are capped at $600 per year.

Verify your identity once — a government ID and a quick face-match — and you unlock the studies that need guaranteed demographics: a $12/hour minimum instead of $8, plus access to studies reserved for Verified Minds.

Verification also keeps bots and fake accounts out, so the pay researchers budget goes to real people.
