@polotek@social.polotek.net So then what you do is answer like 20 of those kinds of questions, and then score yourself. The point is that you want to get exactly 18 right (i.e. you actually *want* to get 2 wrong). This prevents you from sandbagging; if you get them all right, then you realize your sense of 90% confidence is too conservative. If you get too many wrong, you learn that your sense of 90% confidence is too aggressive.

    @polotek@social.polotek.net You can then repeat the exercise until you are getting right around 18 correct. Now you are calibrated.
