$7.96 / hour

Pros

The timing for this hit is pretty accurate in my opinion - starts with a generic 5 page bubble survey - the main exercise is see colored text and you have to press the buttons as per the instructions - the task is interrupted on a few occasions with more personality questions - then you are directed back into the task - the next 'game' is the generic Pass the Ball type game - these last around 4 minutes each you have to play this about 5 times - after each Ball game is finished you have to complete a page of questions before your directed to the next Ball game - it then brings you back to the first task of colored text interrupting every so often with more personality questions - followed by one more page of questions and a page of demographics - could be done a little faster

Cons

Awful - very repetitive - boring - way too long - underpaid

Emotion Study - Surveys and Games (~ 60 minutes) - $6.00

Low

Unrated

Approved

$11.97 / hour

00:30:04 / completion time

Pros

Starts with various pages of typical survey questions - first 'game' begins with pressing the correct key for the correct colors as per the instructions - answer 4 questions at the end of each round - next task remember where the colored boxes appear as per the instructions - the following task is a mix of the previous including using faces - at the end of each round answer 4 questions (don't remember how many rounds there were) - maybe this could be done faster but I did work faster than usual on this hit

Cons

The survey part is really annoying as a bubble follows the mouse pointer and slows you down trying to click the radio buttons - this is quite a long hit to work on

Surveys, images and reaction time game(~ 50 minutes) - $5.00

Low

Unrated

Approved

$9.98 / hour

00:30:04 / completion time

Pros

Starts off with pages of 'self' type questions - demographics - work through 12 images as per the instructions - on a separate link work through two types of tasks - the first one type the key corresponding to the color - the second task work through a set of images and grade them as per the instructions - could possibly be done a little quicker

Cons

Underpaid

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
