1725, but given that I knew two of those positions before, I guess my actual rating is a little lower. How do I determine how much lower it is?

Have you done the test?
I'm already a master. Why would I bother with some silly little online test?
A MASTER !? AHAHAHAHA ahahahaha ahaha
Oh man please don't embarasse yourself aha. NM national master (you need to achieve 2200 USCF rating !!!!!!!!! That's just 2100Elo points , that is not even a CM (candidate master !!!!
So you are not EVEN a candidate for masters and you are calling yourself a master lmao , when you are achieve 22 hundred Elo FIDE rating not your phony local USCF only then you will be candidate masters, which means you are STILL NOT a master !!
Master is FM and to call yourself a master you must achieve 2300 rating Elo points FIDE , do you have that? Exactly until that shut your m.... and do my test it will bring you to the earth!

Have you seen this website? This one is more popular and also the test is validated with rated players. http://www.elometer.net/
Lol I wish this was right

Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 1564, with a 95% confidence interval of [1414...1714].
How did we arrive at this estimate?
We used item response theory (or "latent trait theory"; Hambleton, Swaminathan, & Rogers, 1991) to derive an estimate of your playing strength based on your answers to a set of chess problems with known properties. To arrive at this estimate, we employed the two-parameter Birnbaum model (Lord, 1980) which allows items to differ a) in difficulty and b) in discriminatory power. The set of chess problems we used was taken from the "Amsterdam Chess Test" developed by van der Maas & Wagenmakers (2005), who presented their chess problems to a sample of 259 participants at a Dutch open tournament. The national Elo rating of these participants ranged from 1169 to 2629. Using a subset of the items of this test (the Choose-A-Move item set A and B), we were able to compute a maximum likelihood estimate of your ELO rating based on a prediction formula regressing the latent ability estimates of the Birnbaum model on the ELO ratings of the comparison sample. Using the test information function, we were also able to compute a 95% confidence interval for this estimate.

So I got 1755 and I am nowhere near that... Perhaps on a good day when I'm operating on all cylinders I can play somewhere around 1500 and change.

I'm shocked!!! I'm returning to the game after many years off, and I was never a highly rated player (only played two tournaments, (New England Open, 1989? and World Open 1997 with the toughest 1200's I've ever seen! Have been doing a little studying since then. But how can this estimated ELO rating be even close to accurate? I invite you to look at my games to see how far off I am from that.

It rated me much higher than I play too, so I'd think it isn't inaccurate.
With that said, do you think it is possible that you've improved since the 80s? I think even if I don't play as often, as an adult, I think better now than I did when I was in highschool playing far more often.
Your ELO rating reflects your competitive results. All that these web sites measure is your test taking ability. They are not the same thing! Do you really believe that the person with the most chess "knowledge" wins all the time? Go to a real chess tournament and watch some kid who wouldn't know a minority attack if it bit him on the ass demolish someone who has read dozens of books
What's a minority attack? Sounds racial. Lol
