Personal Projects and Well-being(~ 30 minutes) - $3.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$4.95 / hour

00:36:22 / completion time

Pros

I finished it.
They say right up front that if you don't like open-ended questions that you should return this HIT.

Cons

SO. MUCH. WRITING.
Multiple three-minute writing block about where you are in your life right now, then list some personal projects that you have started this year and answer bubbles about how they make you feel and why you are doing them. Then write about a relation you have and how it may be going badly. Then write about what if this relationship does not get better. Then write about how your life was at this time last year. Then list some projects you had last year. bubbles about them.

Not worth it at all. Avoid.

Advice to Requester

Please pay a fair amount if there is going to be this much personal reflection and writing. This is a foolishly underpaid HIT. Respect the workers and you may get better responses.

Attitudes, Personality, and Relationship Opinions(~ 30 minutes) - $1.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$3.36 / hour

00:17:50 / completion time

Pros

It's done.

Cons

Pages of personality bubbles followed by a couple of lines of writing "think of a person" sort of stuff and then two writing prompts to tell more about the person an how you felt.
Then a timed seven-minute anagram task.
Avoid this.

Advice to Requester

Please be considerate when compensating people for your studies. This rate of pay is embarrassing.

Unrated

Pending

$2.91 / hour

00:25:45 / completion time

Pros

Screens for a future HIT

Cons

Radically too long

Seems designed to encourage the respondent to determine that the best solution to relationship interaction is to abandon human interaction entirely

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
