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.

sample of what the brush does. This doesn't show the squaring off, but is
shows the dotting. It should be one continuous line.

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).
