    Dear All,

    Thanks for attempting our HITs.

    We have received a few emails asking if it is okay for most of the sentences to be scored neutral. Given the content is randomly selected to score on a trait, it is likely that majority sentences will have one score more than the others.

    To help you answer more effectively, happy to hear any suggestions you may have, e.g. elaborate instructions a little more?

    Best,
    Akin Team

    I thought the instructions were pretty clear. I was concerned over them seeming mostly neutral because I didn't want you thinking I was just straight lining the answers with out thinking about them. Sometimes I would end up with long streaks and it just felt wrong to have that many in a row be the same thing. I felt like maybe I was missing something.

    I did 12 from the first batch because I didn't see anything about a limit on that one. Based off the new instructions It looks like y'all would be okay with me doing 10 from this batch too but I haven't because it seems like you guys would prefer to have as many people possible do them so I didn't want to take hits from someone who hadn't done any yet.

    Just a suggestion - maybe a comment box at the bottom of each hit wouldn't be a bad idea, that way if anyone is concerned they can put it in there?
