Description of The Calibration Game

Often, we think that our model of the world is far more accurate than it really is.
The Calibration Game is designed to gauge your ability to know how accurate your confidence is.
You're given a question and two choices.
You might have some idea of which one is the true answer.
So if you think you're 99% sure that A is the answer, tap that.
But if you're wrong, you lose a lot.
But hey, if you're really aware of yourself, that'll only happen 1% of the time, and you'll still be winning.
This is not a test of what you know.
If you give 50% for every answer because you don't know any of it, you still win.
Fun during quarantines and lockdowns, when you're bored out of your mind.
Free for all.

    This app makes you rethink, especially how you ascertain values to intellect blindly and it is a constant reminder how quickly and loosely we assign credibility to assumptions without any basis. The point system really coerces you into quantifying your credibility as well as helps you look at the function of your cognition through a whole different framework. A great app. 12/10 would recommend this.

    This is a really great app, which is also quite different from the regular games we see around us. The idea of the game starts with the basic and most fundamental mannerism in humans - overconfidence. We tend to be too sure about something which we don't quite know about. The Calibration Game is aimed at calibrating your mind, and it helps us realise the repercussions of believing one hundred percent in things we aren't sure about. Coming from a first time app developer, it doesn't get better.

    I used to be an ordinary guy with no life, no achievements, nothing. Then I downloaded this game. Now I have a girlfriend, a La Ferrari and a Nobel Prize in Physics. Best game in this dimension and in all others.
