i'm already over 200, at this pace i should be at 400 by lunch

thanks to secret closed quals


:tinfoil:
I understand the concept of Quals, and I come across them from time to time, Is there a way to look for quals besides the obvious "Qualify" or "Qual" searches?

go through this -
https://worker.mturk.com/?page_size=100&filters[qualified]=false&filters[masters]=false&sort=reward_desc&filters[min_reward]=0&page_number=1 [if you have masters, change the masters to true]

click to show details

search for 'take test'

being able to block requesters from your search will be potentially useful

-----

also, do searches for specific [partial] keywords, like qual, demograph, longitud, follow, [your mturk ID - useful for follow ups that they didn't email you about, make up hits, reiumburses, etc], recruit, screen, etc

first off, i was bull jiving on those stats, as far as closed quals, you mainly have to be in the right place at the right time, lot of luck goes into that not skill, but keeps your eyes open on the forums as they will post any good quals that drop

I figured it was part tongue in cheek and part in the know, so I figured I would ask,how to be more in the know. Information is more valuable (to me at least ) than a spoon fed HoTD.

oh... and just because you get a qual, doesn't mean it's necessarily useful.

look at the time and risks involved in a hit - some quals are for tasks that pay mediocre or worse

and just because something fits a keyword that is for an ongoing or 'qual' type of hit, take a look at whether it's worth your time.

for example, I listed the keyword "longitud [inal]"

I see, Thanks! I learn something new every day, which I think is why I still get excited about MTurk, it's not boring to me, which I am sure to some folks after awhile it becomes.

you know, so many surveys lately have that 'captcha' check to see if I'm a bot

I find it difficult to believe so many bots are being used to complete surveys
