19 when I took it.

Well, I just got done going through tons of Pantone colors for a design project at work. I guess it's a good thing I can tell the difference between my colors

24 for me...

This might also be a "Test your monitor's contrast quality" test

AtomSmasher · « **Reply #5 on:** May 25, 2011, 01:39:55 pm »

4 for me, although the 4 I got wrong were on the last row, which I kind of rushed a bit.

I have two monitors, one isn't as good as the other when I moved the window back and forth the differences in colors were more noticeable on the better monitor.

holy hell jim.

Managed an 8. I've done this one a few times, I think this is one of my better scores.

18 for me... and now I have a headache.

Mikezilla · « **Reply #9 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:10:27 pm »

I got an 11, thought that was kinda cool. My whole family has terrible eyes, I had to blow 5K just to get lasik, and I just had an eye exam for my betes', so its good to know that my cones work relatively well.

Woodshop Flunky · « **Reply #10 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:15:37 pm »

Scored an 8... and a nice headache!

javeryh · « **Reply #11 on:** May 25, 2011, 05:58:40 pm »

I got a 0.

gryhnd · « **Reply #12 on:** May 25, 2011, 06:04:35 pm »

4 for me.

Got a 63 first try. 38 second time around with switching between monitors and adjusting accordingly. I Usually fail the number dot test pretty bad so I didn't expect a great score.

heh, this is one reason why you want am artist with good color experience to do things like accurate preservation efforts (pinball art...) ,rather than a person whos not too color savvy, and has little experience with using them.

Im somewhat shocked at the variances in results though. I assumed that may be slight differences... but the range of results is quite vast, all over the map.

Edit: Took the test. Got a Perfect

A little surprised, cause there were a few tones that were really tricky to tell apart.

saint · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2011, 09:07:16 am »

Took it again. Three differences from the first time:

1. Monitor at work instead of at home.

2. New glasses, same prescription mostly but these are cleaner/not scratched

3. Took more time, when I was done I did something else then came back for a final look before submitting.

7

Dartful Dodger · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2011, 02:50:07 pm »

Too bad it doesn't show you your graph highlighting the ones you've missed.

I took it again and after I thoguht I was done I zoomed way in and made more changes.

I got a 4.

I want to know which ones I missed.

Xiaou2 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 26, 2011, 03:18:35 pm »

Zoomings a bit of a cheat. But anyways, it does show you which ones you missed.
Look at saints picture. Theres bars under the colors which are 'off'.

It doesnt tell you the place where they are supposed to go.. but it does show you which ones.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #20 on:** May 26, 2011, 04:35:28 pm »

I did two rows and gave up. The two I did only had maybe 4 wrong, but I couldn't stand messing with it any longer.

Didn't bother. I'm a guy. Theres like 8 colors.

Did OND cheat? All his white bars are lit up, which is an indication of an error.

Maybe a glitch?

Woodshop Flunky · « **Reply #25 on:** May 26, 2011, 05:44:31 pm »

Tried again today and went a little slower.

Hah! if I cheated so did Woodshop Flunky (I didn't cheat). I did do it on a ---smurfy--- old 17" Dell monitor though

Got 110 but what can you expect. I already knew I am red/green color blind. Great when you are in electronics eh.

I did t-shirt designs for 2 years before they figured out I was colorblind. They had a chart of about 16 colors that looked good coming from our printer and I didn't get outed until they told me to "pick a new red" and I wasn't able to sneak off and get a cashier to choose one. Used to be real smooth about it, too. "Hey, I'm having a hard time picking out a light green, which one do you like?" and all that.

Owner had to go sit in her office with a cigarette for awhile, told me I'd have never been hired had they known, but I had hid it so well I might as well get back to work!

So you're like that guy from Gattaca, huh? Minus the whole bringing a bag of Jude Law's urine to work thing.

Yeah, I can't see even doing it. I was hoping for a 'answer these few questions' thing....which are probably not very conclusive.

At first I thought 'oh man, this looks like too much work'. But I'm glad I did it. This will be the first time ever I am happy to get a zero (",)

I already know I have huge colour issues, I can't differentiate between hues, I see blues as grey, so I thought this would be interesting. Turns out I can't finish it. I just spent about half an hour looking at it getting very muddled. I knew I had problems with colour, but WOW that really causes me issues.

I wouldn't sweat it. Since men have more problems than women, you could say that makes you more manly

Which makes me, er....

Gray_Area · « **Reply #37 on:** June 01, 2011, 10:49:41 pm »

I went back and tried this. Without too much block comparing, I got 8. I'm sort of surprised it didn't give an averages list or at least highest percentage per age group.

Why does blue have 650000 shades but every green is Hunter Green?
