How Good is Your Color perception?

I’m predisposed to like anything that says I’m awesome, but:

How in the world does someone get a -160 on a scale of zero to ninety-nine? :confused:

I’m on my phone. Either my phone is terrible or my cones are.

4/10 and one was a lucky guess.

That would just make my brain hurt. Not doing it. I’m still depressed about the first test. :wink:

7/10, although the last one was a guess just to finish the test…I saw nothing.

But I’ll take the score, since the first two I got wrong (darkest orange and identical pink) I deny the official answers…the orange I chose was definitely darker, and the ‘right’ pink was noticeably darker than the two I chose. :stuck_out_tongue:

I know for a fact that I’m color impaired but I still got 9 of 10. Two were pure guesses — the orange dots and red dots.

The one I got wrong was the two pink shades.

I got 8/10, and failed on the ones where you have to insert the 3 colors. I was kinda borderline on them and could’ve probably got a 10/10 if my 50/50 went the other way. I could do the colors with the pattern hidden in the dots all day.

Scored a perfect (0) on my first try in about 3 minutes. Is that unusual?

5/10. But as someone said, this is more of a test of your screen.

I was sort of surprised by the blue, all my kids were supposedly born with blue eyes, but damned if they didn’t look grey to me.

9/10 on my phone. Not sure which question I got wrong.

Me too, and I was thinking the same thing. The differences are very small for some of those questions.

Absolutely. I simultaneously compared my mid-range Android phone with my good but old TN laptop display versus my desktop 30" IPS setup. Phone was 5/10 (and that was generous), laptop was 6/10, and desktop was 9/10 without breaking a sweat.

My color perception is well enough to know a shitty consumer grade LCD is not sufficient to do these types of tests.

8/10. It was a struggle throughout, and the last two were just impossible for me, I couldn’t see anything at all, due to my red-green colour blindness I assume.

I have a pretty decent IPS monitor, so I can’t blame it.

10/10 but the last one (the red dots) must have been a lucky guess.

9/10. The hardest one was the red/orange bar spectrum.

Likely both. I think they are REALLY good at colors. They SEE things in clothing/interior decoration that are INVISIBLE to me, yet the results are unarguable. That they both share that ability suggests to me a genetic factor - as is the case w/ colorblindness.

Me, I’ve always been good at standardized tests - such as the ACT/LSAT/bar exam. I readily acknowledge that proves no practical implication other than that I am good at taking tests. And a test is a test is a test. There are various approaches a good test-taker uses intuitively that will make them do decently no matter the subject matter. I imagine my approaches - narrowing down the most likely choices, trying to figure out how they are trying to trick me - allowed me to do better on this test than my color vision alone would support. My wife teaches, and we’ve often discussed how difficult it is to devise a test that does not allow takers to “game the system” :wink:

That Munsell hue test is the sort of thing I was referring to my wife and dtr excelling at. As I recall, the version I saw them do had MANY times the number of choices.

I scored 8 on that and if 0 is perfect I’d say that 8 is pretty damn good. :cool:

I got 10/10 on the first one. :smiley:

8/10 on the first try. I flunked the last two : I could sort of see a shape among the orange dots but not clearly enough to make out what it was. For the last one, I saw only red dots, all identical.

To think that my family makes fun of me because I insist that one of my favourite sweaters in green (which it most certainly is) when they all agree it’s blue. I’ll have them try this test. It will show them :mad:.

Espaces, my mother has a different “color map” than the rest of the family. It’s not just blue vs green, it’s:

as I walk in NAVA! What color is the vase?
Uhgscuseme? Which what vase where?
Pointing at the big vase in the entrance The vase!
Oh… tourquoise.
What?
Turquoise. Well, or seagreen if you want. Between green and blue; a man could go either way.
Mom: :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Dad: 1.Bro and I said “green”; 2.Bro said “blue”; we all agreed it could actually be called either. SHE says it’s grey.
Me: No WAAAAAY!

5 of 10, no surprise there. It’s why I refuse to take the Ishihara Test at my eye doctor. It’s just annoying and frustrating for me, and seemingly a source of endless fascination for the assistants who administer it.

AND the angle of your screen AND the ambient light AND…
