Confidence Calibration Lab

Interactive metacognitive-monitoring simulator: rate your confidence before each answer, then watch a reliability diagram and Brier score reveal how well-calibrated your self-assessment really is.

Metacognitive monitoring is the ability to accurately judge how likely your own answer is to be correct. This simulator makes that judgment measurable: before each trial you set a confidence rating, then answer, and the reliability diagram bins every stated confidence against the fraction of trials in that bin that actually turned out correct. A perfectly calibrated forecaster's bins sit on the diagonal; systematic overconfidence pulls them below it, systematic underconfidence pushes them above it. The batch simulator can generate dozens of trials under a chosen bias so the three calibration archetypes — overconfident, underconfident, well-calibrated — are visible immediately, and the running Brier score gives a single number for how good your (or the simulated) confidence judgments are.

⚙ Under the hood

Rate your confidence before answering a series of quick questions, then watch a reliability diagram plot stated confidence against actual accuracy per bin. Run simulated trial batches under overconfident, underconfident or well-calibrated bias to see the three calibration archetypes, with a live Brier score.
