Pros

Cons

I refused to answer one of their open response "attention check" questions and got rejected for it.

The prompt was "Please explain your answer to the previous question" (the previous question pertaining to climate change). My response was "You're paying way too little. You're not getting any more from me."

Rejected for reason
"Failed attention check question"

You know what? I probably did fail one. This HIT is so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if I skimmed and missed a trickier bubble check. I imagine the pay would be a buck an hour for me if I wasn't skimming.

Update 12/13/2021
I was rejected based on my open response. It was manually checked and it was confirmed that I was rejected based off of an open response attention check.

Severely underpaid. Two writing prompts and pages of bubbles

Advice to Requester

$2.26 / hour

Pros

Follow-ups, which hopefully will pay better for the time involved
"Please only accept this HIT if you are willing to participate in the follow-up HITs as well. You must complete this HIT to be able to participate in the follow-up HITs. This first HIT is worth $0.25; the follow-up HITs are worth $0.30, $0.35, $0.40, and $0.45 (in that order). Competing all five HITs will result in a payment of $1.75."

Cons

Severely underpaid, long bubble pages

Advice to Requester

If you want good data, pay a better hourly rate. If the pay continues to be so low, you're not going to get good data. At this rate of pay, most people are not going to complete your follow-ups.

Pros

Text is big and the pages go quick but....they never stop. Doesn't feel too bad if you like talking about politics and expressing your opinion anyways.

Cons

Several open ended questions, never-ending. Made in a way where you feel like each page has to be the last but its not, it goes on and on and on and on.

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
