Confidence Game - self-assessment tool

December 3, 2015 1:02 AM

I'm trying to find this self-assessment/self-correction software tool for evaluating one's own confidence in a given answer in a consistent way.

I could swear it was called the "Confidence Game", with downloads for modern OS X at a minimum, I believe as part of an academic study. Half an hour of googling has yielded nothing approaching the results I wanted.

The idea is for the user to answer questions to the best of their ability (very US-centric, IIRC) and the tool regurgitates to you statistics as to how your answer accuracy matches up to your stated confidence in your answers.

I have no idea what it's called but I remember it was linked to here on metafilter a few months back, so maybe try posting this in metatalk?

Best answer: I thought it was called The Confidence Game too, but this is definitely the game I remember: The Credence Game
