Pros

If you get a bunch of similar images in a row, you can knock them out pretty quickly, using the same or similar terms.

The HITs pay quickly.

Cons

The instructions are vague. They say to describe the entire image in 1-3 words (and not use specific words like "cartoon") but this is often impossible. Especially when you have to do it 5 different times. Even so, I've used plenty of the "forbidden" terms and had the HITs accepted, so what gives?

The worst part however is that the images are often vague and indescribable. I skipped a ton of them, but did one of an image of a yellow rectangle sitting on a thicker, green rectangle. I assumed it was a cartoon container with a lid on it. The HIT was rejected as it was apparently a barstool all along.

But how is anyone supposed to know that? If the Requestor already knows what the images are supposed to be, why not give us a label, so we at least have an idea what we're describing? As it is, it seems like a tossup as to whether or not you'll be rejected.

Advice to Requester

Label the images as to what they are, if you already know! If it's supposed to be a chair of some kind, simply call it "chair". If it's supposed to be of a human being, say "person". Even simple things like that would go along way, and would prevent a lot of rejections. It would also at least help nullify the low pay, too.

Pros

Cons

Nowhere did it say we had to correctly guess what a scribble drawing was, just that we had to tag the drawing. The drawing i got looked like a BURRITO and NOT a cabbage (it was long, not round) so I tagged it as such and was rejected for 0.4 cents. Absolutely ridiculous requester. Avoid!

Advice to Requester

If you don't want people to tag the images wrong, how about tell us what they are first.

Involves writing. Terrible batch wage. Most of the images are extremely abstract, not like the example at all.

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
