There's an issue I've been having with PredictionBook with the amount of "personal" predictions, like if a person will finish a task by a certain time. Could there be a separate category for this type of prediction?

In general, there's not a good way of categorizing predictions right now. A few people have tried when they do predictions to make tags by hand by just commenting in the form "[personal]" or "[politics]" or something similar. But this just assists in searching for specific types of predictions. Being able to really categorize and to do boolean searches of categories would be nice addition.

Upvoted, we very much need a way to tag predictions and a way to see our calibration on particular topics. I can't believe I forgot to include this in my article.
