Pros

You get 2 bucks I guess?

Chance to win $10 bonus if you perform in the top 2% of workers. Slim chance but possible.

Cons

Long

SO MUCH reading. Much more than the average $2 hit.

150 words EACH description comes out to over 3,600 words in total just for the descriptions. That's 10 pages of double spaced 12pt Times New Roman font in Word, with no blank lines or space after paragraphs, just blocks of text filling the entire page. Yes I went out of my way to check this, and no I have no idea why I'm wasting my time on it.

You have to read very carefully because the attention checks are buried in the text and very easy to miss if you're not paying attention. They're also worded differently than the typical ones you see so you won't recognize them on sight.

some very brief typing on each pair of descriptions

The above takes too much time and effort for the pay

Pros

Would have paid well if approved

Cons

I am editing this based on the requester response and my looking through the survey again through mturk suite. There is one attention check that is very easy to miss.

The rest of the work would show that I read the questions and made thoughtful choices based on how I would personally make the choice in a real life scenario, so I would hope the the requester would take that into consideration.

Others are reporting rejections to on both TV and TO so I am not the only one to have gone through it.

Technically, the rejection is valid, but I would not work for this requester again.

Advice to Requester

Attention checks should be filtering out obvious random clickers and not a tricky hidden "lets see how many people I can get" game

Could be slower for some.

** I was rejected on this for missing an attention check***, but not marking it that way cause I can't remember an attention check in this. So, am curious if there is one. If anyone sees this before (or after reviewing) can you let me know in your review that there was an AC, just so I know there was one. Thanks. Guessing I made a mistake cause it was late and one of the last tasks I did, but pretty rare I get a rejection, so really am curious. Thanks again for any info.

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
