6 hypothetical credit card choice scenarios, followed by 2 demographic then 4 finance questions - $0.70

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$9.44 / hour

00:04:27 / completion time

Pros

Faster than requester predicts
Easy: "you'll be given 6 short, hypothetical credit card choice scenarios, each with two credit card options. Your mission is to pick the credit card that will cost you the least financially given the scenario. You'll also answer 4 basic finance questions and provide some basic demographic information"

Cons

Horrible format...weird software that has to load and then goes fullscreen
Completion code can't be copied; have to write it down and then type it in

Advice & Decision Making - $4.00 +2.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$46.25 / hour

00:07:47 / completion time

Pros

• A few demos and then simple lottery choices for 40 rounds
• Very easy

Cons

• Feels like it too about twice as long as it did
• In between rounds there's a 3 second pause
• The completion code is in a sentence on the debrief page - easy to miss
• Bonus is randomly drawn at the end of the hit - probably only a 50% chance of getting it, I got lucky

Advice & Decision Making - $4.00 +2.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$38.92 / hour

00:09:15 / completion time

Pros

Simple survey - going through 40 lotteries making decisions - one lottery gets chosen as your bonus - I won a lottery (it does mention bonus being $2.00 in the consent form) and also in the instructions - but no mention of it at the end where it stated I had one the bonus - pretty quick to work through - great pay

Cons

Code is not highlighted or apparent its in the debriefing form in the second paragraph

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
