Take Quiz here.
Basically you want the lowest score possible by arranging the boxes in hue (colour) order.
I got 16.

Interesting quiz, I got 11.
Apparently I have more difficulties to distinguish tones around the blue-greens and blues.

I got 32

but I realised after that the brightness of the screen of my laptop wasn't at its maximum (then falsing the test).
Gonna retry after. Seems that Ad' got a 0 XD.

I think the way that the monitors are configured (contrast, brightness, etc) can also fake the results, but its probably a small margin. but I guess that 11 isn't bad out of 99.

Funny how girls seem to see better the colours than boys, this in general. Maybe there is an evolutionary reason?

Hey it seems to be true
Or it is a pure coincidence. I remember the web site asked you your gender after you finished the test

Calibrated display I guess?

I actually did the first half of the test (which included the more difficult blue-greens) on a very cheap monitor, and only on the second half did it occur to me to use my correctly coloured monitor. Even though the proper monitor helped, I was still able to do it on my cheap blue-heavy screen. I'm not sure, to me, I found it incredibly obvious if two consecutive colours next to eachother had been swapped.

I see.
I think the results are faked due to not so much well calibrated displays. For this test to work better it should be without any electronic stuff involved (not to mention this test tires the sight xwx).

It's probably half and half - I constantly, every day work with colour swatches so I'm used to telling apart minute differences, but it also increases the difficulty the worse your monitor is calibrated, or generally the cheaper the monitor is, or if the VGA ports are damaged. The results can't actually be faked because even though most monitors are blue-heavy or the calibration might annoy some hues, no two colours will cross over eachother or appear the same (but like I said, they can increase the difficulty of the test).

Perfect score. There was only one specific shade on the last bar that I was hesitant about because it seemed a bit dramatically different from the following shade, but it clearly did't fit in any other place. I was half-expecting to get at least one or so wrong because my eyesight can seem a little less than ideal sometimes, but I guess it was good enough. O.O
