My result is 32 (0 is perfect, 99 is low). But the best and highest scores for my demographic look wrong, -160 and 444445389. Is that a bug or am I misunderstanding something?

A few observations. I think it's easier if you don't group the hues roughly immediately. I did that and it made it harder to discern the hues later when I was doing fine adjustments. Also, I'm a bit worried about my monitor not accurately displaying all the colours, possibly making them look the same.

Unfortunately, this may say as much about your computer monitor as it says about your eyes.

Edit: After finishing the test, the demographic information is clearly screwed up now, since the score range for males in the 20-29 range is -160 to 444445389, which is definitely wrong on the low end (which is supposed to be zero), and probably wrong on the high end (which is probably not supposed to be more than 400 million).

Took about 5 minutes - got a 14 - and now I see spots.

I wouldn't mind seeing a gaussian distribution on the overall results - I also wouldnt mind having access to all the data :)

Did the white borders seem to go bendy at times while you were taking the test? I found that illusion highly unsettling.

No, you're not misunderstanding something. The data is clearly messed up.

My second score is 4. I took my time and re-adjusted the screen brightness now and then. When I felt fatigue I would look away for a while. Also, and I feel most importantly, I would frequently jump from solving one band to do another one, because I felt looking too long into similar hues would desensitise my mind.
