With the conversation today around the "request qual" situation - I have another question... is there any way to contact the task requester to explain WHY you should be given the qualification? It seems so odd that there is this randomness otherwise. All they see is this person on MTURK who has clicked their button to request the qualification, and they don't know necessarily why this person is a good fit for their task, other than them trying to decipher your current list of MTURK qualifications. People DO have qualifications that exist outside of MTURK for pete's sake... or maybe had they been on MTURK when this previous wave 1 study happened or whatever, they would have qualified.
Forgive me if this is something I should have been able to figure out by myself, but all I can see is the ability to contact a requester if they are in my dashboard - if I've actually completed one of their HITs.
I would love to qualify for the HIT entitled "Covid-19 & psychological health of people with cats (10-15 mins)(~ 10 minutes)" for $2 - I am definitely interested in this topic - but there are 2 quals for it that I don't have, and I have no clue what they actually mean:
- TP Panel: 86431744 N is not less than 100
- Inc: [19-335711] has been granted
I did click to request those quals, but I doubt I will get them.
I have 3 cats, and they have helped me get through COVID lockdowns for sure. Speaking of my cats, one of them is currently snuggled up next to me on my recliner, one of them is sitting on the footstool and is mad that SHE isn't the one snuggled into that spot on the recliner, and the 3rd cat is not in view currently... she is most likely wedged into a spot where she shouldn't be (I did hear something crashing down earlier. Hmmm....)
@jan - what are your thoughts on this? Or others that may know?
Thanks for helping this newbie out!
