A few weeks ago I started assessing my own calibration, using tools such as the CFAR calibration game. I got fairly good and concluded that I am relatively well calibrated.

TIL this app exists. Thank you.

After using it for half an hour it turns out that I am well calibrated at probabilities except 80% and 90%. Weird.

Anyhow, could this be combined with a program such as Anki? Meaning, that you place the answer in your head and indicate how certain you are in percent. If correct, the card will be placed accordingly into the future. This should work splendidly with learning vocab for linguistically close languages.
