HELP Using 2.6.6- Brushes are just spots!

I just downloaded GIMP 2.6.6. I am trying to get some work done in it, however, any time I try to use a brush, pencil, eraser, pretty much anything, I just get boxes, spotting, and straight lines. I can not seem to get a circle. I was going to do some portrait work with this, but I am not able to if it will only give me boxes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have been using Photoshop, but I wanted to try something different. I know that this can be fixed, does anyone know how? Please help! Thank you.

You are using a 3x3 brush and scaling it five times. Better select a 15x15 fuzzy round brush at scale 1.

Also check the spacing slider below the brush selection palette. It's a percentage of the individual brush mark's size that defines the distance between individual marks. For instance, spacing of 150% for a 3px brush means that individual brush marks will be left on canvas every 4.5px (so you get a 1.5px gap between brush marks).
