How Should a Leader Lead?(~ 20 minutes) - $4.00

Generous

Good

Approved

$37.21 / hour

00:06:27 / completion time

Pros

Quite an easy HIT to understand, and if the Requester actually does pay, then the hourly rate will be generous.

Update: After emailing the Requester about the Rejection, he did indeed reverse the rejection and credit me the $4.00. So, I won't be downgrading the rating for the pay scale. It remains at a value of "Generous."

Cons

Requester rejected HIT for "completion in less than half the expected time." This sort of policy only punishes those who are fast readers and can comprehend well despite reading quickly. I have emailed an requested an override of the Rejection, and will as needed update the Communication score based on what this Requester does or does not do.

Update: Requester did overturn the Rejection, though based on the contents of his reply it appears that he only responded to my email with a form message and not an actual response. Still, an overturn is better than no overturn, and a form message better than not bothering to reply at all. I've thus upgraded the Communication score from "Poor" to "Average/Acceptable" in light of this.

Update 2: Requester did respond eventually with an actual typed (and not copy-pasted) email message about why he'd made and subsequently overturned the Rejection, so I'm upgrading the Communication Score on this from "Average" to "Good."

Advice to Requester

Stop rejecting based on times taken to complete. I see based on the reviews I'm not the only Rejection you've issued for this reason. At the very least, understand that people can speed-read.

Now, if it was under one or two minutes for this entire HIT? Sure, I'll grant that that's got to be a bot. But just under seven minutes? That's not a bot; that's a human that happens to be a quick reader! You need to be factoring in that not everybody reads at the same pace. I'm not sure who (if anybody) you tested this on initially, but even an average MTurker is going to be much faster at study or survey completion than your run-of-the-mill college student, research assistant, or focus group participant.

How Should a Leader Lead?(~ 20 minutes) - $4.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$24.12 / hour

00:09:57 / completion time

Pros

Pretty good pay

Cons

Rejected for completing in less than half the time. Literally 3 seconds below the (half) expected time of 20 minutes got me rejected.

He doesn't seem to have approved a single HIT. Looks like a one and done scammer who will probably just make another account and con more free data.

update: Rejection overturned as it should be

Advice to Requester

Don't reject based on speed

How Should a Leader Lead?(~ 20 minutes) - $4.00

Generous

Poor

Approved

$31.37 / hour

00:07:39 / completion time

Pros

Edit: Rejection reversed but condescending AF email

Cons

- rejection same as others
- who rejects based on time when you've already embedded ACs in the bubbles?

Edit: "In response to your concerns about time, the average was more than 26 minutes. The average for Master workers was 35 minutes. Also, less than 5% of the participants were originally rejected for speed."

There is no WAY Master's took 35m

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
