US Only---Opinion Survey on Wealth Redistribution by the Government (includes writing) - $7.50

Fair

Unrated

Pending

$37.04 / hour

00:12:09 / completion time

Pros

Apparently this is a Microsoft Research study

Answer a LOT of questions about yourself, then answer questions specifically about wealth redistribution

Pay is fair, considering the amount of work that you have to put into the study

Cons

Essay writing of at least 250 words for the writing part of the study about wealth redistribution. The survey says the essay may be shown to other people in future studies, which adds to the pressure of this writing section.

Demographics questions are very personal, as it asks for your favorite actors, artists, TV shows, and more. It also asks for your date of birth, where you grew up, and where you currently live.

Helping people understand big numbers - $0.10 +3.20 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$ / hour

00:00:00 / completion time

Pros

Decide if a comparison of volume, length, mass, or height is understandable to you, and if it would be helpful for people outside the US
10 cent base pay + 5 cent bonus for each comparison you rate
This is a good HIT to leave on in the background for filler, as you can easily knock out each individual rating pretty quickly for 5 cents each
2 hour timer, so you can work on it for quite a while
Able to work on as many tasks as you want to

Cons

Batch task set up as a survey
There are only so many tasks you can do before they start to repeat

Pros

Welp, these folks are awesome! When I got to the end of the original task, there was no submit button. I refreshed the window, only to be met with the following message:
"Oops! Looks like you have already completed this survey. We only allow participants to complete this survey one time to avoid duplicate responses. Thank you for taking the time to check out our survey!"
I reached out to the req. and they responded promptly, set up a comp HIT the next day and then thew an extra quarter my way for the trouble!
