What would be your Real Life ELO rating? Try this test!

1804, with a 95% confidence interval of [1608...2001]
1538, surprisingly for me.

The time for thinking each move was so low that when in some puzzles I realized that I only had 5 seconds left I was forced to do a "random" move.
1356. 300 points higher than Lichess scoring! Is that bad or good?
It's generally well known that FIDE ratings are always lower than internet ratings because OTB chess is simply more competitive, and yet i noticed that practically everyone here (including me) got an inflated result, which hints that its not accurate.

Other than that, the test uses some extremely common ideas that a weak chess player might know about and thus able to solve, even though his actual skills aren't that impressive.

There's really no other way to know your Elo other than participating in real tournaments.
Oh and P.s
that same page now offers two other chess tests, its interesting to try.
Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 2108, with a 95% confidence interval of [1928...2289].
