I’m not sure how much this relates to the question of calibrating self-assessments in particular, but when I was at Yahoo, a few of us made this game—http://yootles.com/calibration/guessum—with the objective of being a fun way to train yourself to be better calibrated, at least for mundane estimation tasks. It was based on this article: http://messymatters.com/calibration (and especially the follow-on post with the results, and the speculation that people could learn to be better calibrated, hence the game).
Guessum is nice work! Needs a “Share” button, maybe. I’ve taken the all-time high score and I know I’m not that good in either calibration or discrimination, so I’d expect this has had way too few players.

I second the share button. Maybe a chrome app.
A bit late to the game, but the link now appears to be broken. Has gessum been moved?
Now resurrected!
