Dunning-Kruger Test
Eight general knowledge questions. After each answer, say how sure you are. At the end you see your accuracy, your confidence and the gap between them.
How the quiz works
- Pick an answer, then rate how sure you are.
- Accuracy is the share you got right; confidence is your average certainty.
- Your result is confidence minus accuracy, in points.
