I would like to see a calibration test with open-ended questions rather than multiple choice. Multiple choice makes it easier to judge confidence, but I'm afraid the calibrations won't transfer well to other domains.

(The test-taker would have to grade their test, since open ended questions may have multiple answers, and typos and minor variations shouldn't count as errors. But other than that, the test would be pretty much the same.)
