Earn up to $3 in a 15 min partner task - $3.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Good

Approved

$45.57 / hour

00:07:54 / completion time

Pros

Messaged req regarding bonus on 7/2, 7/6.

Update: I have not received a response to my messages sent through AMT, so reached out to the principle investigator via email on 7/14.
Update: After a loooooot of back and forth through email, they eventually awarded the bonus. It was not their intention to offer a bonus, but after pointing out the language within the task, the monies were conferred.

Cons

I'm not sure if they were using language from a previous study (or something along those lines), but if you are anticipating a bonus, it will not be awarded without some solicitation.

Group Study - Earn $2.50 plus a $1-$7 bonus for 45-minute study - $2.50

Good

Unrated

Pending

$5.87 / hour

00:25:33 / completion time

Pros

I only wound up passing the test and then letting the hit sit in a tab while I did other things, so if you only count time spent on the hit the hourly is much closer to $96/hr (as it took me about 1.5 minutes to get to the waiting room)

Cons

- They apparently had too many people signed up and thus I didn't get to play the actual game
- They use a 25 minute wait timer for some reason, meaning you accept the hit and then just... wait.

Group Study - Earn $2.50 plus a $1-$7 bonus for 45-minute study - $2.50 +3.70 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Pending

$12.00 / hour

00:31:00 / completion time

Pros

Chance at a fair sized bonus.
Completion time was quicker than stated.

Cons

Must wait in a "waiting room". My wait was 18 minutes but during that time I was able to go at my own pace reading the instructions and passing a few comprehension checks. Supposedly you'll be kicked out if responses aren't made within a set amount of time.
