25-min Inquisit experiment. Attention and estimation task - $3.00 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$16.74 / hour

00:21:30 / completion time

Pros

Didn't remember any mention of a bonus, but I got one and it's greatly appreciated. The HIT itself was interesting and aside from the interface being a little fidgety on my OS, it worked fine otherwise. If you're working on a Chromebook and have a history of having to return Inquisit HITs because of a lack of functionality, there's now an app in the Playstore that works just fine. It was also approved and paid out (including bonus) within hours.

Cons

Uses Inquisit, which I know a lot of people have issues with, including the fact that I wasn't able to copy/paste the completion code and had to type it in, which is always a risk. The interface for the HIT was also a little persnickety.

Advice to Requester

Thank you for the bonus!

30 min experiment on word categorization and time estimation (Inquisit-based) - $7.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$17.97 / hour

00:23:22 / completion time

Pros

Pay is fair and requesters estimate (30 mins) is pretty accurate (if not slightly high)
Download software, read instructions and do a practice trial. After that, it's six rounds of 16 trials. Before each trial you have to move a slider then it's just a keyboard task. Each round took me 2.5-3 minutes.
4 hour timer

Cons

Inquisit, but requester is upfront and even mentions it in the HIT title
A little tedious but you can take a break in between rounds if need be

30 min experiment on word categorization and time estimation (Inquisit-based) - $7.00

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$13.62 / hour

00:30:50 / completion time

Pros

Fast approval.

Cons

This was beyond tedious and a test of patience. The entire task just felt awkward because you have to keep switching back and forth to do the stuff they want. If I could go back in time, punch myself in the face so I could avoid doing this hit, I most certainly would. There is no way to speed this up either. After the task, there are a few questions and brief writing.

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
