Perhaps we could make a procedure for asking your friends, coworkers, and other acquaintance (all mixed together) to rate you on various traits, and anonymizing who submitted which rating to encourage honesty? You could then submit calibrated probability estimates as to what ratings were given.
I’d find this a harder context in which to be rational than I’d find trivia.
Actually, there’s probably some website out there already that lets one solicit anonymous feedback. (Which would be a rationality boost for some of us in itself, even apart from calibration—though I’d like to try calibration on it, too.)
Does anybody know of such a site? I spent an hour looking on Google—perhaps not with the right keywords—and found only What Others Think, Kumquat, and a couple Facebook/Myspace apps.
Both look potentially worth using, but neither is ideal. Are there other competitors?
