Answer surveys and complete games that measure perception - FOR NON-CANNABIS USERS - $25.00

Unrated

Unrated

Pending

$20.00 / hour

01:15:00 / completion time

Pros

Lots of quality of life things that are nice:
-Ability to save and come back later via a link sent to you through email.
-Survey code is also emailed to you.
-Pay is at least acceptable.
-Didn't take the 2-3 hours it suggested it may take.
-several day long timer

Cons

You have to do those - which tone is the softest several times.
It's two 25 minute or so sessions of a mind-numbing task.
It makes you feel that you're going insane.
Requires giving them your email address to get the survey link.

Play games that measure perceptual experiences - $18.00

Underpaid

Unrated

$11.34 / hour

01:35:12 / completion time

Pros

None, unless you have insomnia cause this will put you to sleep.

Cons

Mind numbing, full attention tasks which exceeded even the requester's time estimate. There were 4 different tasks which don't show up until you complete the previous one which was made this very deceptive in what it wanted done. So opening it only shows the one long task when there were actually more. Each task is pretty much timed and can't be done much faster. Also, for some reason, insisted on you repeating the tests for your screen brightness and sound settings before EACH task.

Approved

$19.99 / hour

01:15:03 / completion time

Pros

Long timer, built in breaks, can save and come back later.

Cons

10 minute screener than emailed link if you qualify (needs email and first name). Inquisit-like flashing tests that are really repetitive, boring, and have clumsy controls. Need to have headphones/super quiet environment. No progress bar.

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
