I'm better than 44% of the first 100 people who tried it - which means I'm worse than 56%!!!! Not sure what that means?

You were the same as me, Chewbacca I don't think I'll apply for work assessing Xray films.

I don't think I'm very good at this sort of thing. I'm only better than the first 15% of people who tried it.

I was better than 32% of the first 100 people who tried it. I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed.

I am surprisingly rubbish at this it seems! Only 15% are worse than me!

It is well hidden. jasonkchow.github.io/ov_demo/

I did the test, but when I went back to answer your question, I almost gave up on finding it again. There is a paragraph that reads "In follow-up studies, we've found that o applies in the same way to artificial and real objects, and that people with high o are better at computing summary statistics for groups of objects (such as estimating the "average" of several objects) and also better at recognizing objects by touch. You can compare yourself to others in this short demo." and a link takes you to the short demo. It is quicker to follow my link.

Is there a test / quiz hidden somewhere in there?
