It uses the modified data set (data2.csv) posted by Nick. Use the left mouse button to pan and the right mouse button to zoom. It's pretty easy to change the scale and orientation of the axes in the code. Improvements are welcome. Here’s a 3D visualizer for the data and some screenshots:

We reviewed that data and found virtually no cases of scamming (you can check for yourself in our color explorer). This does illustrate why the reputation/scam detection system we've built on top of turk is important and useful to customers. Love the term "weekend scientist" :).

I run 58 mturk accounts with automated scripts. Did not even see the colors once I figured out it was in order red/purple/blue/green/yellow tones...Heh.... weekend scientists! Does not mean sh*t.

Great work. 2) I imagine it's safe to assume that you don't know the sex of your workers? I'd be very interested to know how each sex rated colors differently. If you only looked at males would you see more "blue", "green", "red", etc. I notice that, relatively speaking, few people just said "red". I blame the lipstick industry. 1) I love the project!

It's pretty unusable in its current state. Great idea and a nice start, however the color names are vague, poorly spelt and inconsistent. It’s pretty unusable in its current state.
