Personalizing, adapting, and balancing computer games - $10.00

Low

Unrated

Approved

$11.93 / hour

00:50:17 / completion time

Pros

Go through a Unity game where you click on symbols, and play two games sometimes, then play one of the two games for a while, then go back to clicking on symbols, all while you have to fill out short letter/number codes or whatever

Cons

Study goes on WAY TOO LONG because of the timers on everything. Without timers, this would take about 20 minutes, but instead you have to slog through hundreds of timed pages and tasks, with the games being your only reprieve. The HIT says it will take 60 minutes, and this is sadly accurate only because of the timers.

How well you do on the games and tasks is irrelevant, as you don't get any bonus or whatever for performing well on the games, which would've been really good motivation to actually do this HIT. At the end, you're just going to want to speed through everything and get this over with.

In the end of the HIT is minor bubble hell, as there are a lot of bubbles, and the interface used for the small survey portion at the end is crappy and slow. You can barely see what you selected, the drop down menus are slow, and there are way too many questions on each page.

This HIT is best described by taking the first letter of each paragraph in this Cons section. Avoid this HIT and return if you ever catch it.

Art game (Chrome or FF only) - $3.00

Low

Unrated

Approved

$14.04 / hour

00:12:49 / completion time

Pros

You had to be screened for this 'game' by playing in previous games.

Cons

The game consists of a single Inquisit-like task that has you just pressing keys for a pre-defined image. It's not even a game, it's just a stupid IAT masquerading as a game. There are unnecessarily long timers between every single round of the task, so this inevitably takes up longer than you want it to.

Before and after the IAT are bubbly surveys with bubbles that have colors blending into each other, so it's hard to see what you clicked on. The drop-down menus also take a while to drop down and update your answers. This adds to how annoying this 'game' was.

Casual game (fairground theme) (FF only) - $8.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$20.27 / hour

00:23:41 / completion time

Pros

Play a bunch of games that test different skills, then answer a survey about yourself afterward

The games aren't too bad (except for one), and you won't be bored most of the time you're doing this.

The pay on this is way better than the last game done by the requester.

The requester says this only works on Firefox, but this worked on Chrome just fine.

Cons

One of the games involves clowns, and goes on for what seems like forever, so avoid if you fear them

Bubble hell for the survey at the end, as it comes with the typical problems that this requester's surveys have

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
