Challenging Interactive Game (! earn a bonus payment !) (~40 mins) - $4.20 +0.30 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$16.84 / hour

00:16:02 / completion time

Pros

Play an interactive game about managing resources

Game is somewhat fun and detailed

Performance based bonus

Cons

There is a LOT of reading with the most infuriating quiz setup. If you miss any of the comprehension questions, you have to reread the instructions and wait at least 30 seconds because of a timed reading page. The study won't even tell you what questions you missed, and tells you to go back to the instructions or leave the study, so there is a chance of getting kicked out without compensation here.

There are timers for every round of the game. There are 45 rounds, and there is at least a 10 second timer for every round, so the game itself is tedious. It's annoying having to wait that long just to submit your choices every time.

food descriptions (~6 mins) - $0.75

Generous

Unrated

Pending

$34.18 / hour

00:01:19 / completion time

Pros

The surveys from Positly can range from trash to fire. This one is in the 'good' range. A good way to tell is if it is like this one and is a semi high value hit. As long as it doesn't have writing it will likely be decent.

No writing in this hit so it was great.

The no code system is kind of neat and works well imo with the optional feedback section at the end of every hit from them.

Cons

The survey layout on these is still a bit annoying and I hate it a bit every time. I still hate the way that they screen hits it is unnecessary but they aren't going to change I guess.

The timer could be longer as well I guess.

Individual differences in approach to some social and interpersonal issues (~7 mins) - $3.00 +3.25 bonus

Generous

Excellent

Approved

$43.77 / hour

00:08:34 / completion time

Pros

I mentioned that the survey made me loop back to the beginning once I got through to the end and I got a bonus with an apology message from the requestor stating that it was an error on their part. Actually this is exactly what they said in the second email after the initial 0.25 bonus:

" And I noted that you had to do it again after the first completion, so it's fairer to just give you another $3 dollar as compensation for the technical issue due to my editing the survey when you doing it."

Phenomenal.

Cons

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
