Did you write the questions or were they presented to you? If they were presented to you, then you have no choice in which of the two answers is "yes" and which is "no." So it is meaningful for you distinguish between the questions for which you answered 55% and the questions for which you answered 45%. Did you find a symmetrical effect?
It was symmetric. I never answered 45% - to clarify, when I answered 55% I was right 45% of the time. And I only recorded whether I was right or wrong, not whether I was right about X being false.
