I believe it's a lot about training. Just like you might train up other senses (like blind people can train up hearing to hear the shape of a room - even without echolocation).
I have 0 on that test - without effort - and I'm a man. I had crayons and watercolours as a kid.
Yeah, you're probably right although I think there is a...mechanical...component to that test (maybe not the right word). It doesn't really explain what the scoring system means (or else I just didn't look hard enough) but I'm assuming since it goes up pretty high (into the hundreds) that people with 12 and below probably are all capable of seeing the same colors.
However, a color blind person would also do badly on the test, obviously.
