IM John Bartholomew did this test as well and got an result of 2240 elo which is around 200 points below his real elo-rating.
You also see that 30 sec. for each puzzle is even for a strong player like him not enough time to make a serious analysis, so its pure instinct in many cases and therefore some amount of luck involved.
Here is his youtube-video making this test:

Did you do it though? lol
I redid it after 7 months and... this thing is BROKEN!
"Based on your move choices, our estimate of your Elo rating is 2001, with a 95% confidence interval of [1819...2183]." LOL, no way! Ô_Ô
I remember doing test a while back, and got around 1900-2000 from what I can remember. I tried this test just now and scored 2157. I am assuming I was still able to recall the correct solutions from ages ago. However, I ended up running out of time for 3 puzzles...
I got 1627. I don't see this reliable. Too much because my tactics skills are completely null.
A completely erroneous test, what about the culture and the strategy ? Some positions deserve five seconds, others one minute or more. We eventually play at random. Some positions have to find nothing of special. Really very badly made and probably by weak chess players. I stopped before the end : no interest, some powder with eyes! Even the training of Lichess is more sensible !
i got 1616 with an interval of..1572 to 1765
I just glanced through this forum post, only looking at every two or so pages, and I counted literally fifteen closed accounts and one marked for computer assistance. What is going on here?
1843 is what I got.
2281 and I am around 2150
so it is correct as they predict the good interval for me (2140-2420)
