Ridit scoring
Ok kiddo, let me explain Ridit scoring to you. Do you like playing games? Imagine you and your friend are playing a game called "who's smarter." You both take a test and get a score out of 10. But sometimes, the questions on the test are really easy, so everyone gets them right, and sometimes they're really hard, so almost no one gets them right.
So, just looking at the raw scores doesn't really tell us who did better overall. That's where Ridit scoring comes in. It helps us compare your score to your friend's score and figure out who did better relative to everyone else who took the test.
How does it work? We take your raw score and compare it to the raw scores of everyone else who took the test. If your score is higher than most people's scores, then you get a high Ridit score. If your score is lower than most people's scores, then you get a low Ridit score. If your score is right in the middle, you get a Ridit score of 0.5.
Ridit scores are helpful because they give us a better idea of who did better overall, not just who got the highest raw score on the test. It's like a fairness meter that takes into account the level of difficulty of the questions. And that's Ridit scoring, kiddo!
