I would love to see the score distribution and the particular zones where color discrimination is low for the whole population. In my case it seems blue is slightly problematic. Is there anything like this in the webpage besides individual scores?
Last time I did this I was using a MacBook Pro (very nice monitor), this time I'm using a Thinkpad T61 (lousy monitor).
I scored the same both times.
I'd be interested to see what happens if people use poorly calibrated monitors. I could tweak a screenshot with the Gimp, but I don't know enough about eyes to know if I'm making any meaningful adjustments.
The medium ("green") and long ("red") cones are pretty close and similar. It's interesting that the diversity of reds and greens we experience are computed from two mostly-overlapping signals having peak responses at roughly "leafy green" and "sunny yellow".
Scored 10 (for comparison: male, age 20-29). I think the score might be better on a real monitor (now on notebook) and worse on a phone/tablet, because the high-contrast on some notebooks (my Vaio Z for example) and phones (AMOLED type) might decrease the differences between colors on these charts.
7, among the highest for my cohort. Although it's possible the sorting heuristic I used helped, basically a loose binary sort followed by closer inspection and comparison of proximate squares. Increased the zoom level of the page to get a bigger sampling area for my eyes.
BTW, my score is 8. I read the explanation, but I still have no clue what that means? For example, which score would you need to be a graphic designer?

Unfortunately I realised this only afterwards.

Also, I dont understand why it has 0 on the left hand side, yet says for the best score -200; same for the opposite end. I got a 0 btw :)
I am really surprised to score 0, especially as I'm not an artist.
Colorblindness is frequently a problem: color-coded graphs and maps are usually unusable, and I often have to get help with color in design.
