First I had 10-12, but when I read webruner's score, I tried my best and get 0.

I am pretty amazed that I got zero on my first try to be Honest.

Getting zero on the test is only one element in a much larger picture.

To get 'perfect colour' as @jonpais is talking about, you must be able to:

• see subtle shades of colour (which the test confirms)
• understand what you are looking at (eg, which hues are appropriate for skin tones, recognise an orange/teal grade)
• understand what you want (eg, if you like the 'Canon colours', or if you like a reduced contrast look, or less saturation, etc)
• know how to operate your equipment in order to get the look you want

It's like poetry, you have to be able to hear/read, to speak the language, and to appreciate the art of poetry.  Having only the first one is insufficient.

Or you have to have strong call-for-add-the-friend support, which luckily we have here in forum:

- see subtle shades of colour (which the test confirms) - here is where shines @jonpais's obsession

- understand what you are looking at - this goes only with 100+years-of-sober-wisdom/experience, which obviously candidate as ruler No1 @webrunner5

- understand what you want eg, if you like the 'Canon colours' - there's no dilemma, I even can't read/recognize word "Canon" more, because I immediately see @mercer instead

- know how to operate your equipment in order to get the look you want - @John Brawley is person to call, especially about very last toys in the market end especially if you are yet undetermined do you really need them (yes you need them because they have glorious IBIS, or because they have not disturbing IBIS but crown of RAW)
