I got a 9 out of 10.  I would think that photographers especially those to do post processing have an advantage over regular non-photographer.s

I presume yes. This test is specifically about shades of color and therefore less dependent on monitor behavior and more dependent on (trained) perception.

I recall another test by xrite: https://www.xrite.com/hue-test
but I would think this xrite test will require a bit more advanced monitor behavior.

Quite simple, 10/10

I have hereditary Red-Green color deficiency, so I expected to score about 2 or 3 on this test. I actually got 6, which quite surprised me.

Several of the earlier questions seem to depend on brightness differences rather than hue differences, and those are the ones that were easy for me.

The classical color perception test are the Ishihara tests (available in many libraries), which also used spot patterns, each with an imbedded letter or digit, one which is visible to someone with "normal" vision, and the other to someone like me with "defective" vision.

9/10. I was robbed. C'mon, 'S' or '5'!?

Kind of a worthless exercise. And yes, the X-rite test is a bit better. But using a display in what (?) condition of calibration and quality to do this is mostly a 'feel good' or 'feel not so good' exercise and kind of a waste of time.

I got the 2nd one wrong (it is kind of an optical illusion.)  Then I got all right till 7, but then I got bored and figured what I don't know won't hurt me so I abandoned the test.
