I know that for the very most part, I am slower on surveys. I am never sure how alert, excited I am . But is there some kind of neato calculation being the scenes that makes it so that my time completion isn't counted as much? Should I click a better pay rating while leaving my time spent intact? I just don't want my reviews to make things worse.
Times are averaged for the requester. I believe people who are consistently way off the average time aren't counted in the average that shows up in scripts. If people go to the requester's profile they'll be able to see with each review what that reviewer's normal speed is. I checked your profile on TV. You're "Relaxed Pace" which is just a little slower than average. You're fine. People are going to work at different speeds and averages are averaged for a reason.
FWIW, I went & took a deeper look and you're pretty consistently in the ideal range as far as research surveys go. TV's average is actually pretty much above average for the platform as a whole. Yours rarely stray outside what would be considered a normal range, and the 2-3 that did were mostly HITs that had bonuses some people did/didn't report so not a big deal
