It will be difficult to pass if you have a 6-bit monitor. 8-bit monitors are tons easier, and pro level monitors should let you breeze through this.

On my 6-bit monitor I scored 7. And on my graphic editing monitors I quickly got it perfect, even with conservative easy-on-the-eyes settings.

You might be able to get a perfect score of 0 on a 6-bit monitor if you turn up the saturation and contrast.
 
How bad is 11?
Not sure how many bits my monitor is.
 
11 is pretty good. 0 is perfect. 100 or more is getting up there. Some joker scored 5000 points by purposely mis-matching as much as possible.

6-bit monitor makes the test much harder with the center colors. 8-bits allows you to complete the test somewhat easier.

This is a test of the entire display system, both man and machine are "evaluated" here.
 
With a score of 125, I'm way on the low color acuity end.
I had almost no method, especially on the bottow two of the four.
But I already know I'm colorblind. :P
 
Just arrived at work, and scored 176!
Not bad, uh? Luckily, I don't work in the graphics department!!

I'll try again in different daytimes.

The graph is interesting though, showing (in my case) the weakest range:
