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

I'm about 2100 USCF over many years (2063 now), so a FIDE rating would be lower, maybe 2000. On the test I got 2458 (!). A few of the positions I had seen before, but those questions were very clever in that I think they reversed the colors from the actual game to try and throw you off. I got 45/48 in the endgame test. I certainly would never claim to be rated near 2458.
Actually the test has changed since I made it years ago. Today I gave it a whirl once again after a long period:

"Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 2287, with a 95% confidence interval of [2145...2430]."
Instead of finishing the whole test in 2 minutes after a tough week like yesterday evening I did it once again now well-rested.

Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 2400, with a 95% confidence interval of [2240...2561].

Endgame: 44/48

Think this test is somewhat over-rated but nice anyway. I remember that the former version with say half of the question was better adjusted to the real life rating.
hmm... I got 1873. How is that possible!? (my highest blitz rating here on lichess was only a bit above 1200).

I gave the test a couple of hours though...
Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 1983, with a 95% confidence interval of [1859...2107].
Surprised I got a score this high.
Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 1854, with a 95% confidence interval of [1727...1982].

I'm very surprised, I only clicked through them
Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 2555, with a 95% confidence interval of [2370...2739].
2187... 95% between 2055 and 2318... um I don't think its accurate I'm only a 1446 uscf player
