I find that some of the HITs on Mturk are only for people who have the qualification. How does on ego about getting the qualificatin to participate in those HITs? Is there some test that one has to give or does one have to ask for qualification based on your postings in other HITs?
I had trouble finding this at first. Login to your account, next look at the top and click on "Qualifications". Then click "All qualifications". This is where you can apply for them.
Qualifications Qualifications can come from many areas. The first, and most important, is the qualification tests offered by clicking the Qualification tab. Take tests that match the type of tasks you would like to take. Another qualification is simply based on your location. Other qualifications occur by provider request, they may e-mail you and invite you.
Qualification The only time I've needed to qualify is if I didn't object to xrated sites I might find on the list. The qualification link was on the hit. Sometimes it says you have to be in the US.
