How this estimate is calculated

Each answer scores 0 to 3, weakest behavior to strongest.
14 questions, so your total runs 0 to 42.
Raw level = 2.0 + (total / 42) x 3.0, rounded to the nearest half level.
Each of the 7 skill domains scores 0 to 6 (its two questions added).
Confidence: if your strongest and weakest domains differ by 2 or less,
the band is the raw level plus or minus a quarter level (shown rounded).
A gap of 3 to 4 widens the band to a half level; a gap of 5 or 6, to
three quarters. Wide bands mean a spiky game, not a broken tool.
The two skills holding you down are your two lowest domain scores.
Nothing is stored, sent, or tracked. Reloading the page erases it.

This is an unofficial estimate on the generic 2.0 to 5.0 self-rating scale that players and clubs have used for years. It is not an official rating from any league, tour, association, or rating system, and it is not affiliated with any of them. Use it to find your game and your first drills. Official ratings come from recorded matches, and that is the honest next step when the estimate starts to matter.
