How to use

For each question, select an answer and then select how sure you are by selecting a confidence level.

Since these questions have only two possible answers, your confidence level could range from 50 percent if you truly have no clue (i.e., you might as well be guessing the outcome of a coin flip) to 100 percent if you think there is no chance you could be wrong.

For the sake of simplicity, there are five confidence levels between those extremes: 55%, 65%, 75%, 85%, and 95%. Just select the one that best represents how sure you are.
