underpaid forced-choice trash with unnecessary forced time-delay

Advice to Requester

"features great noise cancellation" - I consider this a disqualification from consideration. I also wouldn't buy "headphones" at all, and certainly not from an unknown "brand" (I specifically refuse to even pretend to consider connecting anything electronic, by wire or wireless, to my phone or computer, unless it is from a well-reputed brand). And I would find neither "shipping option" acceptable without, at the very minimum, additional information (am I also "imagining" I have some reason I need the headphones faster? is there some valid reason I am not having them shipped for free on my Amazon Prime account like a normal person?) - forcing participants to choose one or the other without that information means all data collected is in fact meaningless.

In addition to the general nonsense of all forced-choice "surveys", you rendered this grossly-underpaid solely by your own action in including a ridiculous and unnecessary forced time-delay.

Forced-choice nonsense, "choose" between 2 entirely unacceptable shipping options for a product I wouldn't buy

Advice to Requester

Forced-choice nonsense, "choose" between 2 entirely unacceptable shipping options (I have Prime, I refuse to pay for shipping for new things) for a product I wouldn't buy (environmental claims about item shown are nonsense trash scammy idiocy)

Pros

Cons

Forced-choice between nonsense options for a silly scenario.

Advice to Requester

I have Amazon Prime, I am extremely unlikely to pay for shipping from anybody. THat said, it is impossible to answer the question without, for example, some scenario description of WHY I am buying the desk-lamp. Do I need it quick because I actually NEED a desk lamp and the old one's dead?

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
