It said my rating was 3000. Obviously [humblebrag], that's a bit inflated. On a good day, I'm only destroy Carlsen a little bit. Probably, if I'm being honest, a 2900. So...yeah. XDXDXD DAE LE THIS THREAD IS STILL GOING ON?!?!?

Reading through this thread, I see someone said there was supposed to be a two-minute time limit on each position. 

That's not how I did it. I just clicked the link, pushed through to the test, and starting working positions. I often went over two minutes. I assumed if there were a time limit the website would enforce it.

I suspect many of the high scores here (including mine) were due to this oversight.

I'd like to get back to the start page to look at the instructions, but it seems I can't unless I delete my browser cookies, which is enough of a hassle that I'm not going to.

That said, I don't think it's a bad test. If I had adhered to the time limit, I imagine my score would have been in the ballpark.

How did we arrive at this estimate?

We used item response theory (or "latent trait theory"; Hambleton, Swaminathan, & Rogers, 1991) to derive an estimate of your playing strength based on your answers to a set of chess problems with known properties. To arrive at this estimate, we employed the two-parameter Birnbaum model (Lord, 1980) which allows items to differ a) in difficulty and b) in discriminatory power. The set of chess problems we used was taken from the "Amsterdam Chess Test" developed by van der Maas & Wagenmakers (2005), who presented their chess problems to a sample of 259 participants at a Dutch open tournament. The national Elo rating of these participants ranged from 1169 to 2629. Using a subset of the items of this test (the Choose-A-Move item set A and B), we were able to compute a maximum likelihood estimate of your ELO rating based on a prediction formula regressing the latent ability estimates of the Birnbaum model on the ELO ratings of the comparison sample. Using the test information function, we were also able to compute a 95% confidence interval for this estimate.

Thank you very much for dropping by! We hope you enjoyed our test. If so, please recommend it to other fellow chess players.

I used my phone to check the elometer site again. There are no time limit instructions. According to a Reddit commenter the site used to enforce a time limit but does not do so anymore, which clearly makes a difference.

Still it was a decent set of problems and a good chess workout. I'm pleased to learn I can perform at the master level solving problems if I don't have to beat a clock. I take it as an indication I know how to look for the right moves and calculate them. I'm just not as efficient as the 2000+ players.

Obviously that's not the same as being an expert or master and it doesn't rule out the possibility the test skews high.

Nonetheless, I believe the various Elo estimators will get better over time and approach the reliability of an official chess rating as a one-number ranking of chess strength.

my rating was inflated by 400 points, yet I just clicked through...

You are mistaken.

Why? Because you say so? It seems I would remember the result better than you, strangely enough.

 

I sincerely hope that me saying this does not damage your self-esteem lol.
