    Cutoff on the speech research hits is 5 each batch right?

    Anyone want to volunteer their data to help me parse qualification tests and find useful ones? If you are willing to help, get the script "CH Export MTurk Quals" and use it to pull a list of all your quals and PM that list to me. If a bunch of people do that, then I can compile a list of all the quals that have a test and are held by anyone who shares. Then I'll share that list.

    Yeah, they probably do. I guess they just want many different people doing them.

    They're missing out on my unique country dialect. And I think batch B was Spanglish or something. That wasn't real English.

    quals aren't sorted by date?
    can you get the last modified date from the test page?
    BTW, don't commit botricide while you are getting the qual info
    every few weeks I catch too many of the same non batch hit
    and have to return/abandon all but one
    the next few weeks I get a capcha every 8 hits
    they notice bot like actions
    you might want to use another IP and be logged out if that even works on quals

    how is a list of workers qual going to tell you that tests were taken?
    many quals are autogranted and may go back to when workers first joined
    no longer worth getting

    I don't think I've ever taken a qualification test that led to anything worth having. Just my own experience, but the best quals I have involved doing actual batch work.

    Or is that what you're looking for?

    Wow. There's some sort of scam going on at UCLA. Two auto-responders from the people listed on the debrief.

    Yeah I don't think there are many... and the few that are are usually just short term projects, like Bark.

    Only other I can think of off the top of my head is PI Search and they are mediocre at best.

    I don't think there's any secret money to be found here.

    There is 52 HITs available too. Really. Doesn't make sense.

    IRB has been emailed. I don't care about the .25 cents. Could have been $25 dollars. Not the point. They are literally stealing data which is not right.

    I saw Bark on my fb feed as a sponsor. It's for an app that's like 9.00 a month for parents.

    LOL, PI Search is one of the harder tests to pass and completely worthless. Well, not *completely* but they only post a few hundred hits once a week or so. Bark is gone, those Machine Learning things are long gone. Can't even remember anything else.

    The best way to get quals is to schmooze and never snooze, basically.

    That's kind of surprising. They have always been good in the past. Must be some new people using the account.
