I have brutally low general knowledge
Here is a general knowledge / trivia test that has some evidence for validity

This particular test is solely about a person's self confidence.

I totally agree.
I have confidence in what I know and what my limits are. I don't put undo stress on myself worrying about what coulda/shoulda/woulda.
I don't want to hear what someone else's evaluation of me is, because I don't really care what people think.
I do the quizzes mostly for laughs, but I do love the trivia ones. I'm like, "hey I know some stuff."

Looks like I’m a “centrist” here in this group, eh??

That one is hard.

Yeah, I pre-tested it before it was released since I know who assembled it, and I got something like 15 correct which I think is ~14 scaled at my age (mean 10 SD 3) which is quite a bit lower than vocab, but one of the hardest questions ended up getting swapped with an easier one in the final version, and then I think I learned another one incidentally on YouTube, so perhaps I'd have gotten 15-16 scaled had I taken it a month or two later than I did, but also possibly not. And of course the scaled score equivalents could be inaccurate, but I think scores were equated with those from a professionally-developed test using data from a sample who took both, and the items were taken from an existing item bank, so it seems decent.

I'm confident even when I don't even know what the heck I'm talking about.

I’m not confident even when I know what I’m talking about.

I’m not confident even when I know what I’m talking about.

I sometimes double-check things even when I seem to remember them pretty clearly before I mention them.

I'll give Carp 50% of mine and you 40%.
The rest of you are caca out of luck.

I’m confident when I know what i’m talking about. I’m a good public speaker too. Class presentations are my jam.
