  abstract: "We report useful observations made during the design and test of a crowdsourcing task with a high \"imaginative load\", a term we introduce to designate a task that requires workers to answer questions from a hypothetical point of view that is beyond their daily experiences. We find that workers are able to deliver high quality responses to such {HITs}, but that it is important that the HIT title allows workers to formulate accurate expectations of the task. Also important is the inclusion of free-text justification questions that target specific items in a pattern that is not obviously predictable. These findings were supported by a small-scale experiment run on several crowdsourcing platforms."
