    Is it possible for a Requester to find out how much time did it take each Worker to complete his/her single (each) HIT (not the average time taken by a Worker, but to see how much time did it take every individual Worker)? Also, can the Requester see at what time did the Worker accept his/her HIT and/or when (what time) was it submitted?

    Hope you get what I'm trying to ask here. If you don't, I'm to be blamed for it. Anyways, tha... Nope, I'll thank after I get a satisfying response, if at all I get any.

    I don't know this for a fact, but I imagine there is a mechanism in place for this information to be made available to the requester. It could be a reason that some folks get rejected -- because they accepted the hit and then submitted the response too quickly (according to the requester, which is a subjective way of making this determination). The problem with this is that someone could be working on the hit informally before actually "accepting" it. I've done this on occasion, just to see if it was something doable or worth doing.

    I know that probably doesn't answer yoru question, but no one else has any answers yet!

    Hi JF,
    That's a good question. I'm not sure if the time spent by one worker is easily available for the requester or not. I'll look into and get back to you once I find out.

    UPDATE:
    By selecting Download Results or Export Results from the requester interface, a .CSV file can be downloaded which contains the HIT information, including what time each HIT was accepted and when submitted. Such a file can then be loaded into a spreadsheet for review or analysis.

    Thanks loads for the answer, ergo. Being not a Requester (probably won't be one, ever), I'd have never be able to find it out.

    Thanks to you too, SuzyQ. The last sentence of my original post here (i.e. the first post for this thread) was meant to be humorous. I didn't mean it seriously. I won't hesitate to thank anyone that helps me or even at least tries to do so.
