Have a fun conversation with an Elf. Yes.... an Elf. - $1.00

Good

Excellent

Approved

$11.69 / hour

00:05:08 / completion time

Pros

The interface actually worked really well, you can press enter to submit your chat and responses were instant. No survey or anything to do other than the chat.

Edit: Excellent communication, responded to my email very quickly and went beyond just answering my question.

Cons

20 turns of chat with a chatbot, 5 words per turn. The responses where pretty much nonsense and almost always unrelated to what I had said. A bit annoying to have to keep track of word count for each turn (counting to 5 is hard okay).

Elf Conversation. 100 responses. About 55 minutes. - $9.02 +5.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$45.63 / hour

00:18:26 / completion time

Pros

Received an unexpected generous $5.00 bonus from the requester since he liked my responses in the conversation!
One of the more unique tasks on MTurk that I've ever done through a fun conversation with an elf bot.
An easy HIT to do overall that's straight to the point with just the task of communicating.

Elf Conversation. 25 responses. About 13 minutes. - $2.32

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$23.33 / hour

00:05:58 / completion time

Pros

Easy. Pay is good for the hourly, requires writing but little thinking. Essentially talking to a chatbot.

Cons

I don't like the way that there's nowhere to submit - you just have to start the chat, and close the window when you've done enough. I hope that mine saved alright.

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
