INVITE ONLY: Follow-up survey on what is important in life (~12-15 minutes). - $1.50

Low

Approved

$10.80 / hour

Pros

You can do a ton of these and find yourself crying in a closet after a half hour of this tedious torment! Perhaps with a gratuitous amount of coffee or even beer, these may get easier to go through.

Cons

Flagging pay as low because of the mental effort involved. The longer I did this the more it felt like my soul was leaving my body to run away. I have done these before but they are so tedious and require too much thought. I used my wizard math brain (LOL not really) to do a quick calculation. If 30 of these took 8.5 minutes that is roughly 4.5 hours. I see no way I can do that many without setting myself on fire.

Granted, you may do these quicker over time but still seems to me the bonus is not worth it unless you enjoy these. Even if you did these in 7 minutes that still takes 3.5 hours. I may try to do a few but highly doubt I can do all 30. Then again, with how slow this week was for surveys, for me at least, I may try to do what I can.

Advice to Requester

Perhaps consider offering a smaller bonus for doing a smaller amount like 10 hits.

Pros

Cons

I avoided this for days because I knew it would be bad. I should have stayed away from this. Highly tedious and repetitive. Just when you are burned out from the main part of this survey you are hit with some seriously extensive demographics. Then throw a few pages of drop down menus at you next. Then there was more nonsense but my brain is fried and I can't recall what it was. There is also brief writing. Horrible hit overall and considering how extensive this ended up being they really should have paid more for this.

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
