I think something similar to this might've been posted a while ago, but I couldn't get the link to work.

I scored a 4. Too bad it doesn't tell you what the average score is (only what the BEST score is, which was apparently...negative 4?!).

Apparently I have perfect colour vision. I got nothing wrong.

(The best score is 0. You got a 4 because you got 4 things wrong, I'm guessing.)

I got perfect too.

But it says:
Best score for your gender and age range: -4

So, maybe 1 wrong could be 4 points? =/

Maybe the person who devised it was crazy.

It said that the best score for my gender and age range was zero.

There are only 80 squares involved in the test, so if Michjo is getting "970" then each square is not counted as the same amount. Or maybe it goes back to my first point, of the person who devised the test having been crazy.

I got "12", whatever that means.

Fun times.

I got 8.

I'm going to retake it tomorrow and see if the score changes (for better or worse:p) 'cause it's super late right now and I only got like 4 hours of sleep today lol.
+ my eyes keep going crazy because of my bed lamp.

4. w00t. But wouldn't the quality of one's monitor effect the test outcome?

After the test, it shows you a diagram of how good your hue discrimination is at different wavelengths, i'm guessing the score has something to do with this. We must also consider colour-blind people (the main reason there are four bars).

Someone who has protanopia cannot percieve the colour red, they would percieve a red-green bar as shades of green. One person with protanopia might order these greens in perfect order (ie have good hue discrimination); whereas someone else with protanopia might get them in the wrong order (bad hue discrimination). The scoring system takes note of this fact.

Most certainly.

Having the color set to 8-bit or maybe 16-bit would effect it more @_@

I got a 0. I wonder how you get a -4? It said I have perfect vision.
