Cognitive Assessment and Games [up to $7 bonus](~ 30 minutes) - $2.00

Low

Good

Approved

$5.92 / hour

00:20:17 / completion time

Pros

Potential bonus could make it worthwhile. Reached out to the requester and the rejection has been reversed. They said the system flagged my response as invalid, didn't expand on why. If you were rejected for a similar reason I suggest contacting the requester.

Cons

Rejected with the following message: Thank you for completing the study Cognitive Assessment and Games Study ID 304315 Unfortunately at this time you have not been approved Nevertheless we thank you for completing our study and hope you have a great day.

Expended a considerable amount of time and effort working for the requester and they couldn't even be bothered to give me a valid reason for the rejection...

I treat work on mturk as seriously as I do with any other paying job. I sincerely believe this to be an unfair rejection.

Advice to Requester

If you're going to reject work then you need to be clear about why.

Feedback for short mobile lessons - $4.00

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$10.48 / hour

00:22:54 / completion time

Pros

Could probably be done a little faster than I did it but, still underpaid giving all that's involved

Cons

40 minute timer, which should be longer
Task is pretty tedious. You have to switch from computer to phone several times. Take a picture of a QR code, go to a site on your phone and complete a task. Then you come back and answer questions. Each set includes two writing prompts (combined 700 character minimum) and a few bubbles.
Repeat for three rounds total.
Also, there is a code after each task that can't be copied so, you have to type it in.
To sum it up, three tasks on phone (which really aren't bad and are fairly quick) but 2100+ characters of writing and lots of hopping back and forth between devices with a somewhat short timer.

Advice to Requester

Increase the timer and the pay

Cognitive Assessment and Games [up to $7 bonus](~ 30 minutes) - $2.00

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$9.90 / hour

00:12:07 / completion time

Pros

Meh.

Cons

91% approval rating. Warns you that they are tracking how fast you complete the survey. Several questions in which you need to use critical thinking, which eats into survey time.

Opportunity for a $7 bonus, but you need to answer 4 questions correctly. Unsure which questions count towards the bonus. Hopefully these are the attention checks, which would fall in line with claims that they pay 4 times the amount of the average task on MTurk.

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
