Do you know what you know?
A Confidence Calibration Exercise
http://confidence.success-equation.com/

"After answering each of the true/false questions below, indicate how confident 
you are in your answer using the corresponding slider. A value of 50% means you 
have no idea what the right answer is (the same probability as a random guess 
between the two choices); a value of 100% means you are completely confident in 
your answer."

It seems to present the same questions each time, which is a shame. I'd love to 
try it fully alert. But my attempt at 4am, with an irritating headache, turned 
out this way:

Mean confidence: 61.60%
Actual percent correct: 78.00%
You want your mean confidence and actual score to be as close as possible.
Mean confidence on correct answers: 63.59%
Mean confidence on incorrect answers: 54.55%
You want your mean confidence to be low for incorrect answers and high for 
correct answers.

Quiz score
