Easy button-pressing game for academic research. - $0.50 +1.07 bonus Confirmed!

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$4.73 / hour

00:19:55 / completion time

Pros

Edit: bonus paid 7/23.

Cons

Absolutely annoying. Bonus opportunity doesn't even help drag this out from being a low paying HIT.

You have to click buttons, so be prepared for a tired hand. YMMV if you click the right button, at the right time, and in the right area. Honestly, it all seemed random. And if you don't click the right button, at the right time, and in the right area, your bonus goes down. This goes on forever! At some point, the bonus just stops going up and every click starts to cost you your bonus.

To top this off, at the end there are some slider questions. Even if you click the slider to note 50 (the starting point of each slider), you have to move it, otherwise you cannot submit.

Just AVOID this garbage.

Advice to Requester

You have a HIT that started at $3.50 pay. You need to bring that back, or you need to increase your bonus for this HIT at least ten fold. Ridiculous that you expect people to click over a thousand times for practically nothing.

Easy button-pressing game for academic research. - $3.50 +0.03 bonus

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$13.89 / hour

00:15:15 / completion time

Pros

The only positive is that they seem to have increased the pay. According to previous reviews this used to pay 50-cents with the possibility of a bonus up to 50-cents. (Rate for calculating bonus pay seems to be reduced now that the HIT pays more)

Cons

"Game" does not include instructions on what you're supposed to do to play
Lots of threats of rejections for various things
Consent form is inaccurate and includes incorrect payment info
Essentially, you're just moving and clicking your mouse the entire time
No progress bar...feels like an eternity
Short survey at the end, includes some questions that require written responses about your "strategy," etc

Easy button-pressing game for academic research. - $3.50 +1.40 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$12.30 / hour

00:23:54 / completion time

Pros

Playing a game for 15 minutes - opportunity to earn a bonus - followed by questions about the game - not sure this could be done any quicker really

Cons

Small bit of writing at the end explaining your strategy
BONUS: It did state that I earned 50c for completing the hit plus a bonus of $1.40 which is confusing as the hit paid $3.50 - I got paid $1.40 on the bonus.

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
