I appreciate that clarification, and yea, with the link I didn't link that I had to choose 100% confident because I would much prefer what you said at 99% or 99.9% confident. I also like what you said about how it brings a surprise because it may be so rare. Thanks for this!
- Jensson 5y agoI'd say the questionnaire cheats a bit though since it picks some known common 0.1% cases where most people has to wrong idea. So making statements about a persons confidence and how it relates to the real world based on such questions isn't good science, rather it seems like the purpose was to make the effect seem greater than it is. So maybe me getting reasonable scores was just that I read a lot of forums and have seen data related to common mistakes people do and therefore didn't get tricked by those questions.
