C3 Assessment Battery Validation - $0.05 +72.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$27.75 / hour

02:35:48 / completion time

Pros

Fair compensation

6 hour timer

If you tap out after the first test, you can get partial compensation as a bonus

If you do well enough to place within the top 20% for both tests, you are entered into a lottery where you have a 1/5 chance of winning a $40 bonus on top of your $32 for completing both tests.

This test is presumably used for cognition in army trainees, and you're helping PDRI test out their battery for those trainees

2/15 update: Bonus was paid out today, and I somehow won the lottery

Cons

The HIT is VERY involved and requires a lot of mental willpower to get through this, especially after you complete the first of two tests.

The first test is a very detailed and complex work scenario. You're a trainee for an overarching job position where you oversee several activities for a company. You get to read about the history and fine details of EVERYTHING related to your job, and it is up to you to filter out information that is irrelevant. The test encourages you to take notes, and you will need these notes if you're shooting for the top 20%.

After you're done reading about your job, you actually get to do your job. There are several complex simulations of tasks that your job details, and you're supposed to go in great detail in completing these tasks. The work interface given is EXTREMELY detailed, with a lot of irrelevant information that is designed to throw you off your path. Don't expect to do well on this at all.

Overall, the first test will take you about 90-120 minutes, just like the HIT says. It is very mentally draining, and is nothing like you've done before.

The second test is a series of logic tests involving numbers and words. It is timed as well, and the timer is somewhat strict so you can't spend all of your time on one question. This second test is way easier than the first test as you don't need to read a lot, but it is still very tricky and requires a lot of thinking.

The second test takes only 30-45 minutes. After this, you are done with the HIT entirely. It is a grind, and I can't exactly say I recommend doing this HIT unless if you're confident you can get the extra $40.

C3 Assessment Battery Validation - $0.05 +32.00 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Pending

$12.31 / hour

02:36:16 / completion time

Pros

$32 bonus for completion, or pro-rated if you stop part-way through. Those in the top 20% have a change at getting 1 of 3 $40 bonuses (but let me tell you, there's no way I'm one of those.) It's also not really clear how it's graded- throughout the whole experiment? A certain section?

The content and simulation may have been interesting if they weren't so long and detailed.

Cons

I was really not prepared for this.

The first section took me about two hours- it had reading, simple comprehension tests, a long (and very detailed, very involved) simulation, and another test. THEN, some random logic problems that came out of nowhere.

The second section was another 20 minutes, and was like an ACT/SAT type of standardized test with logic and grammar problems.

Not for the faint of heart.

Edit: For reference, I'm a "fast reader" who's generally faster than average on HITs. I used to do logic problems for "fun." I had no interruptions and no breaks, and this took 156 minutes of my life. So just, reflect on that.

C3 Assessment Battery Validation - $0.05 +32.00 bonus

Good

Unrated

Pending

$12.12 / hour

02:38:43 / completion time

Pros

-32 dollar bonus
-the subject material on part 1 was actually interesting as you apply your learning from day one into series issues the company is having with thier product.

If you have the time to do this, I encourage you to do it. But make sure you have the time and take breaks if you need it.

Cons

This was absolutely grueling. You can do it on your phone or a desktop. I chose phone for firewall reasons. You really cant get done much quicker than this and I applaud anybody who can. Mentally exhausting since the first part is comprised of learning about a new postion followed by critical answering of questions pertaining to on job questions and issues that arise.

Part 2 is like the other PDRI HIT's were you answer multiple choice questions. It goes WAY quicker than part 1.

Part 1: 2 hours
part 2: 30min

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
