The perceptual (match the size) questions are known optical 'illusions' which most people will struggle with. The 'what colour is this written in' is known as the
stroop effect, first documented in 1935. Pretty much everyone has trouble reading colour names printed in a differing colour. If you don't something's wrong with you. Same with the 'spot the difference' question.
The last 10 questions are factual: you either do, or don't know the answer.
Alltogether, it's a nice summary of perceptual things that people are known to be bad at
