How good are you at distinguishing colors?
In this little test you have to arrange colored squares by hue.

I got a score of 7.
I got a 39. And a headache.

Oh yes. I wasn't sure about a few squares until the end, but I decided to submit it before I go mad.Originally posted by OneCentStamp

12 score. And yes, it gives me a headache.
I got 102, which is a long way from the worst score for my age and sex, but is not good.
This may explain why I am never consulted about design issues.
I got a 22. My eyes are all squirrelly now.
39. I wasn't about to go crosseyed spending more than a minute or so on those bars.
Twins!

10 and I never want to do that again.
everything in nature is sort of gross when you look at it too closely. what is an apple? basically the uterus of a tree - terrifel
7 and didn't think it was that scary or headachy...
Yeah, and unsatisfied with your initial score of 19, you took it twice, Ms. Perfection.

According to this test, I have PERFECT COLOR VISION, so the rest of you can all relax, because the test is bullshit. Hell, I don't even have matching color vision in both eyes.
I think this particular test probably fails because it can't account for a fairly critical variable, namely the fact that everyone is viewing it on different monitor screens. I don't know about you people, but my monitor is so cheap that the color values change depending on what angle I am looking at it, which apparently gives me some kind of edge with this test.
11. Not too bad.
45.
Now you all know why I dress like I do.
Science flies you to the moon; religion flies you into buildings.
24.
I agree with Terrifel - it's not *exactly the same for everyone. The lighting in this corner of the library is abysmal, and affected things considerable. Interesting test, tho...
21.
Which, I believe, is much better than I did last time I took this test several years ago, on a different computer.
Yes, that's a problem, but at least there is hope that the usual variation between monitors, lighting conditions and viewing angles doesn't change the relative hues too much.
There is also a problem with certain LCDs that don't actually display the full 24 bit (i.e. 256 levels each for red, green and blue) that the software claims. Some displays just ignore everything beyond 18 bit. Then it's hopeless.
Other displays are a little better and although they don't display the full range of real colors they try and emulate the rest.
If these two images look the same then that's a bad sign.
Did it again, trying to show a bit more patience, got a 51. Still bad, but noticeably better. I'm not sure how much it's vision issues, how much is my monitor, and how much is just not being able to motivate myself to look at it very long.
Look pretty much identical, so there you go.Yes, that's a problem, but at least there is hope that the usual variation between monitors, lighting conditions and viewing angles doesn't change the relative hues too much.

I got 35. Am I reading this right that the lower your number is, the closer to perfect your color vision is supposed to be?
(I also have a cheap as shit monitor with atrocious lighting in a cabin, so I'm willing to blame that and claim better eyes if you guys will let me.)
I tried again this morning and got an 8. I guess I have better eyesight in the morning.
I think that's how it works; at any rate, I was rated PERFECT COLOR VISION with a score of 0.
Now that I think about it, I suppose the test could have been telling me that my color vision is perfect, and that I am also a zero.
I also noticed that the 'worst score' listed for my demographic was something like 1540. It's nice to see that at least some of my fellow Gen X'ers are carrying on the proud tradition of randomly dicking with anonymous surveys for no good reason.
I scored a 0 too, which doesn't sound that great, does it?
I did it on my laptop monitor, which is only calibrated by eye but isn't the highest quality. One thing that helped is moving the window around on the screen, to account for the changes in color in regions of the screen.
I am slightly tempted to see how the scoring works by moving one or two of the boxes around. Obviously it's some function of the number of panels misranked and how far that panel is from its ideal position.
This drove me nuts so I rushed the last 2 bars. I got a 53. Not so good.
I have noticed a change in my color perception of late. I now struggle to differentiate black and dark, dark navy in room light at night, for example.
I also am blaming my monitor on a small portion of this.
I got 12, but was unwilling to spend nearly as much time on arranging the colors in the last bar as I did on the first. Still, if I am interpreting the somewhat less than helpful bit at the end correctly, that is a pretty good score for my age/gender. (On the other hand, I'm in the 50-60 age range, and at 51, assuming deterioration over time, I guess I SHOULD be toward the better end of the scale).
Nasty test, though. The bars were starting to dazzle by the end.
