I took the survey 2 days ago. It was fun. I think I was well calibrated for those calibration questions, but sadly there was no "results" section.

Is it possible to self-consistently believe you're poorly calibrated? If you believe you're overconfident then you would start making less confident predictions right?

You can be imperfectly synchronised across contexts & instances.

Being poorly calibrated can also mean you're inconsistent between being overconfident and underconfident.
