i scored a solid 8. but i am very tired and i suppose my monitor is far from being a very good performer, therefore i am pretty content with the outcome.
I have taken and administered these Munsell tests many times, although this is the first time with a computer monitor. I worked with a optothalmalogist MD getting her PhD in color blindness. Nice to get yet another perfect score.
A couple of misconceptions:
A calibrated monitor should have very little effect, unless one side was distorted compared to another.
Color sensitivity is almost completely unrelated to color blindness. Some color blind people (red-green, for example) can still score very well on this test because they can tell the graduations. Most non-color blind people do poorly.
Externalities, such as tiredness, can greatly impact your vision. A small amount of alcohol (one glass of wine, not more) will VERY seriously impact your vision. Age is a serious impact as the cornea yellows.

20 on an uncalibrated Dell LCD in bad flourecent light at work, in only a few minutes while on a phone con. I'll have to try it again at home in good light and on my calibrated GDM-FW900.
Well, there may be something to at least having good lighting. I did it again at home and got a zero.
Another easy Zero... On my calibrated 22" CRT at home. I take tests like this once every six months to keep my job... But we use hardprints on chemically stabilized PVC substrates, not RGB 8-bit computer screens :P
Depending on hardware and calibration software used (contrary to what you would think) you actually degrade your system's colour gradation/separation ability if you're on an LCD with calibration...
Calibration works in LUT's before sending the (digital) signal from the graphics card to your screen. If the screen needs to be corrected, you loose colour resolution when the correction software tries to make your screen behave more linearly by making the 8 available communication bits non-linear.
So, for those of you who know that your screen is heavily corrected, if you're not satisfied with your result - turn off your calibration and do the test again!
Got a 0 on my calibrated 24" Samsung LCD monitor. My wife looked it over and agreed, and she demands I give her equal credit. I disagree, but here it is...
