Pros

It IS "something" to do as opposed to watching TV or just relaxing but, those things are at least enjoyable.

I don't have to do this survey ever again!

Cons

The questions... They seemingly never end... Really!

In the first 10 pages, there's 190 bubbles to select, 19 questions per-page/category and a status bar at the bottom that doesn't even budge until after 8 pages have been answered, and then it's almost imperceptible that it did move slightly, it may have been wishful thinking on my part.

Then after 10 nauseatingly long PAGES of questions with only semantically different wording between most of them, you finally get to the demographics, the progress bar is now around 52%, maybe.

Then it gets WORSE! The demo's just won't end either, more semantic's and then do you, have you, will you, could you, have you maybe heard of, do you think you might hear of, what about someone in your family, what about someone they might have heard of... Oh, My, God! They just won't end!

If I hadn't already been answering the massive amount of mind-numbing questions for well over the 20 minutes he said it should take, I would have returned the HIT... I was in way too deep to return it, I would've received nothing in return, so, I begrudgingly stuck it out... My brain hates me for it and I never want to see another long drawn-out survey like this again unless I'm making at least $15.00 or more for doing so.

I've never had any survey that required me to click "Next" over 60 times, I lost count after that.

I would have gladly paid the requester $2.00 to NOT have taken this survey!

If I, unexpectedly, were to receive a $20 Bonus for my thoughtful participation, I'll revise this review to reflect my sincere gratitude for having been given the opportunity to have helped my fellow humans as well as advancing science and your knowledge of the subject matter for the betterment of all mankind. Until that happens, it's tragically underpaid.

Advice to Requester

Trim the questions down to much, much less than half, it's entirely too long.

Pay a fair price for what you're asking workers to do and for what you're receiving in return.

$2.00 isn't even in the same zip-code as fair for a survey this long!

Did I mention that it's entirely too long?

Give a "realistic" expectation of the "actual" time required to read, think and then respond to your survey questions... 20 minutes isn't even remotely close, test it using someone that has no clue or preconceptions as to what it's about, then test it on more people before posting it.

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
