Review summary

Many reviewers praise Mind Lab for being simple to use with clear self-assessment results and a generally strong concept with well-constructed score interpretations. However, recurring issues with translation, grammar, and spelling distort questions and undermine result accuracy. The combination of confusing language and occasional nonfunctional tests significantly detracts from the app's usefulness, though the underlying idea remains appealing.

Pros

Simple and easy to use
Clear results for self-assessment
Strong app concept with useful assessments and well-structured score interpretations

Cons

Poor translation and translation quality leading to incomprehensible or nonsensical questions
Extensive grammar, spelling, and wording errors that confuse questions and undermine results
Some tests fail to provide meaningful or any results, making reliability questionable

2022-10-09	DC*****	That’s about sums it up. This app was simple and easy to use, and it gave me the clear results I needed for an honest self assessment.

2021-07-30	Sl*****	It said 20 minutes, but 40 minutes of poorly worded, often repeating and sometimes nonsensical questions went on and on. I deleted it.

2021-05-03	Sa*****	So good but I wish there were more tests because in like a month you’ll be done with all of them and then you have to delete the app.

2021-01-27	Qu*****	I took the MMPI and it is clear that the text has been translated into another language and then back into English. Many of the statements are, therefore, incomprehensible, such as, “Most people give birth because friends can be useful,” “I am deprived of the ability to summon any visions in myself,” and my favorite, since I cannot even guess at what it means, “It highly appreciates its physical data.” I’ve never given a one star review before, but these tests are meaningless if the participant cannot understand the test statements.

2021-01-19	te*****	There are often grammatical errors that make answering some questions confusing. This also appears to be the case in the results portion after a test.

2020-04-28	wm*****	The app concept is wonderful. Many of the assessments are great too. The interpretations of scores are well put together. However, a HUGE flaw is spelling, grammar, and verbiage. It’s awful and easily confounds results. If the responder can’t decipher the question due to awful spelling and grammar or the use of cultural slang and idioms long forgotten then the results are ultimately meaningless.

2019-12-29	cv*****	I really wanted to like this app and have it be useful. Unfortunately, it seems that some tests like the MMPI were translated or scanned incorrectly from printed material. The color test was surprisingly accurate but because it doesn’t seem to provide any direction to the taker also quite useless. One test provided no results afterwards despite having answered 75 questions. The poor grammar and syntax in the MMPI in particular made me decide to stop answering questions and ditch the app. It almost felt like it was translated from Mandarin and that the results would be harvested by some Chinese hacker. I don’t mind spending more than $1.99 to get rid of ads but at least make the app decent and useful. Overall, an interesting effort that fell short of expectations.

2019-11-16	nb*****	For examining oneself, it would be useful to have a random test option such that the app will randomly pick a test and provide you with questions without knowing the title because if the person knows the content of the test, then the results can be skewed.

2019-09-06	M.*****	The translation of the content on this app has severe typos resulting in confusing or mid-understood questions. The results therefore are definitely not accurate and for the lay person who doesn't understand the complexities of psychology and behavior -could really damage ones view of one's self. This app is not responsible to it's users. Furthermore, you can't pause during the test so if you get a phone call or your kid needs you and you pause too long, the app refreshes and you have to start all over. Poor content and poor design!!!
