What the five dimensions measure
Calibration
How well your confidence matches your accuracy. High calibration means when you say you're 80% sure, you're right about 80% of the time — not 50%, not 99%.
Reasoning
Your ability to evaluate and regulate your problem-solving approach in real time — knowing when to switch strategies, when you're stuck, and when a solution is actually working.
Bias Recognition
The capacity to notice your own cognitive shortcuts and systematic errors as they happen — not just in hindsight, but in the moment they influence your thinking.
Belief Updating
How well you revise your views in proportion to evidence. High belief updating means you change your mind for the right reasons — new information — not social pressure or emotional persuasion.
Metacognitive Monitoring
Your ability to accurately track your own understanding: distinguishing what you genuinely know from what merely feels familiar, and noticing the difference between processing and learning.
