Pros

The survey was easy enough

Cons

apparently I was rejected for missing an attention check but this is impossible as there was only 1 clearly visible attention check and I made sure to do it properly. So they are either lying or have very hidden attention checks and this is very unfair I would stay away from this requester if I was you.

Update: They responded to my message and clearly do not care that they are hurting workers by giving rejections so I would stay away from this requester. I mention to them they should change how their surveys are ran and route people out instead of giving rejections but I doubt they will do that so I would stay away from this requester.

Advice to Requester

Change how your surveys work and route people out instead of giving rejections as rejections unfairly hurt workers.

  • HIT Rejected

Pros

Survey was seemingly straightforward and well compensating
Great communication, quick to respond to my rejection inquiry

Cons

Rejected due to "not meeting our quality of work," though I genuinely don't understand how I didn't. I answer surveys honestly and pay attention while I do them. This survey about "Quinn the social media influencer" was answered honestly, but apparently my honest answers are not up to their standard.

Edit: Apparently I missed an attention check. Again, I take these things seriously, but will admit that I skim over directions when it's the same stuff over and over. They must have snuck that in somewhere. Sucks considering I gave good data for everything otherwise, but so be it. Fair is fair.

A survey about social media influencers (~5 mins)(~ 5 minutes) - $0.80

Good

Excellent

Approved

$17.67 / hour

00:02:43 / completion time

Pros

Even though I failed an AC, the requester was able to see their way clear to reverse the rejection after I reached out to make my case!

Cons

I absolutely missed an AC, so am deserving of this rejection. The check in question did seem easy to miss, IMO, so I plead my case to the req. We'll see....

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
