Pros
Columbia UniversityLuck-based bonus
Choose paintings that give the most profit
Cons
This is basically a 30 minute long Inquisit set of tasks that goes on FOREVER.You have to do 2 trials of binary painting choices that are timed, go on forever, and include random writing to explain some of your choices.
You then have to look at the same paintings you chose and go through a pointless timed task where you look at their profits.
You go through another 4 trials of timed binary painting choices that go on even longer, then you have to estimate the profit of each single painting that was shown with a slider and bubble choice per painting, then you have to remember what painting pairs were shown together, all with timers.
After that, you have to write about your strategies in this study, answer survey questions, then you have to wait for your results to submit. If you somehow don't submit your results, you'll get rejected.
Apart from that above statement, the requester threatens to reject for a lot of reasons, including waiting too long, exiting fullscreen, and answering randomly, so there is pretty much nothing good about this study at all.
This is underpaid garbage that you should avoid.

Card color discovery game(~ 60 minutes) - $3.60 +5.40 bonus Confirmed!

Pros
You can take breaks in between the rounds, which does make it less tedious. Bonus potential is decent-ish, up to $4.50 per session I think, and $2 for completing all four (I included an extra 50 cents to account for that final bonus). I'm assuming the following days will be quite a bit quicker without so many instructions and practice rounds to get through.Edit: Bonus paid same day and was $1.40 higher than expected, raising the pay from fair to good
Cons
Really long and repetitive. Six rounds of full-screen learning rounds and memory tests that switch between keyboard and mouse for each part. Some memory checks have to be repeated if you make a mistake This is probably about how long it's going to take most folks, maybe a little bit longer if you make mistakes on the memory tests.

Pros
It's not inquisit.Cons
Inquisit style task, but not inquisit. Incredibly BAD. Multiple tasks. Once you're done with a task, you breathe a sigh of relief, but nope - another task shortly follows. So you get through a bunch of tasks - Then you get to the REALLY LONG TEDIOUS TASK, and when you're finally done - you think, "HALLELUJAH" - however, you're not done - it's just a take a break message. So you go back to this INCrEDIBLY LONG TEDIOUS TASK, and then you finally finish and you think "thank god." - but nope, ANOTHER FRIGGIN TASK!!!
