Pros
If approved, I have a dollar and ten cents.Cute stuffed animals.
Cons
- HORRIBLE survey design, and no feedback box (the horrible surveys never have any!)- The entire survey auto forwards after a set amount of time, there are no forward buttons to progress. Slow reader? Fast reader? Have an emergency and need to pause for a sec? Tough luck!
- Then there's an entire set of questions where you answer "yes or no". Instead of providing radio buttons like a normal person, this surveyor makes you type in "yes" or "no" every single time (and I'd bet there's no control programmed in to prevent you from typing everything else). These questions also are on a forced 20 second timer, dragging out the survey length and lowering pay rate even more.

Pros
Cons
Poorly designed study that is underpaid, has unclear directions and invites errors. All the questions auto advance after a set time, which makes the study take longer than it should since you can't go faster and can cause you to time out and submit no answer to some questions if you don't respond quickly enough. This happened to me once or twice trying to figuring out how the requester wants us to answer.

Pros
Cons
This was fairly awful. The pages are auto timed and there's no way to control how fast you see either pictured or written material. It is so deadly slow that it would be easy to do something else while this drags on. I didn't do that of course, but I sure had the time.
