I think the monitor has got a lot to do with it. I’ve got mine set up on ‘true color’ 32 bit with fairly hefty resolution. I’ve also learned that I need to work in a well lit area with a good light source on the desk - because any other setup gives me a blinding headache (I said my eyes weren’t good).
I’d be interested in the change in people’s scores if they swap from a laptop to a well set up desk monitor.

I am a 43 BTW.
I was a little surprised.
I did teach art for one year, but it isn’t what I have a degree in.
The color-blind wifey got a score of 162. She’s 33 as well. I’ve always been curious as to quantifying to what degree our vision was different, and this will definitely help. Now to play around a bit at the mis-matches that are required to score a 162…
My first time (an 8) was on my macbook pro that is only a few months old, but in a poorly-lit cafeteria. I did it again later at my desk on the same computer with better lighting and got a 0.
I scored a 19. I’m satisfied with that, I guess. I did it on my year old lap top in a fairly dimly lit room. If I’m get around to it, I’ll try again on the desktop in the kitchen. BTW, I’m 39 and female.

I guess looking at a computer screen for 10 hrs/day has not fried my eyesight. So are men or women better at judging color? I know that men are more prone to color blindness. I guess that I don’t have that.
I thought I might have something wrong in the blue/green range, those were the least distinct for me. I have a dual monitor setup and it didn’t occur to me to check on the other monitor :smack:
I got a 10–pretty good, I think, considering that tilting my laptop screen changed the colors. I had the most trouble with blues and purples. Interesting test–I love colors, but I tend to prefer ones that are BRIGHTER.
I got a 22 but I didn’t try very hard. I tried to move my monitor up and down to see it better but it was hurting my eyes so I didn’t spend that much time on it.
My score: 105, with a couple of breaks to rest my eyes and a headache to match

I tried really hard on this, and it looks like I’ve done pretty badly compared to everyone. That’s okay, I’ve always known my color vision wasn’t stellar. It’s not that I’m colorblind, I just have really bad color vision.
I have a lot of eye trouble and colours are slowly disappearig. I had this test done at U of Toronto about 30 years ago (not on computer) and flunked the centre blue/green then. Now my red/yellow is lousy too… but I expected to do much worse so I’m happy.
