that is probably one of the farthest-from-accurate color vision tests I've ever seen.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

I had to guess completely on one, and didn't feel very confident on another. So I should have gotten 6 out of 8. And I'm an art historian. Maybe I should quit.

I've done a test where there's 100 colors and you have to align them according to gradient, with colors fading into each other.

I scored 94/100.

Baseline was around 78-82.

I was second tier in percentile.

Got 8/8 here, but the one deep blue/purple was in my troublesome spectrum. Surprised I got it.

I got 7/8. I'm color blind as fuck. I guessed on one and missed it.

As a designer, I fought it everyday and figured out ways around it. Pantone colors and having interns make a color palette of all of our AD markers and forcing everybody to chart their colors for hand graphics and file them for consistency (I told everybody). I had to implement these things in 3 offices - it got easier when I got into leadership, I sold it as QC for our graphics.
