3: Qualification
Qualify your workforce. Other Information:
If special skills are required to complete your tasks, you can require that workers pass a qualification test before they
are allowed to work on your HITs. Alternately, you can require that a worker has historically completed a minimum percentage
of their tasks correctly or a minimum number of previous HITs in order to qualify for your HIT. -- Qualifying Your Workforce:
Mechanical Turk offers the ability to first qualify workers before they are allowed to work on your tasks. Qualifications
can consist of a short series of questions or sample tasks that you ask the workers to complete. You can also require that
workers have historically answered a minimum percentage of their submitted HITs correctly. There are several reasons why you
might want to qualify workers. Your tasks might require a very specific skill set such as language translation or a particular
demographic profile such as only workers that live in Los Angeles. You may also want to use the qualification as a mechanism
to "train" your workforce. By requiring workers to go through a quick test, you can show them how you would like your work
to be completed and illustrate the kind of responses you expect.
