Cool! I've been desperate to see a rationality test and so make improvements in rationality measurable (I think the Less Wrong movement really really needs this) so it's fantastic to see people working on this. I haven't checked the methodology yet but the basic principle of measuring bias seems sound.

Btw, my ability to get answers correct is apparently better than 99% of the other test takers.

So, your biases are similar to Stefan's, congratulations.

No, it's total accuracy on factual questions, not the bias part...

More importantly, don't be a jerk for no reason.

See my comment here on just how factual the "facutal" questions are.
