I've known I was colorblind for a while (yeah I know, ironic), but this just proved it without a doubt.


I got a 107. Seriously. Tons of people on the FM forums got a perfect score, so I feel completely blind.
Thankfully most of my errors are on the blue/purple side of things so i'm still mostly good on skin tones. Sheesh.

I'm not color blind.
I do have a deficiency in the blue green spectrum that causes me problems with some of the color vision tests. ( they wouldn't let me fly helicopters in the ARMY )

I think it actually helps as a photographer. As long as skin tones are manageable I don't run into a lot of trouble. I do like vivid colors, etc. which always worked well in my commercial business. I try to tone things down a bit for portraits and wedding stuff.

This test apparently tests for attention deficit traits as well. I couldn't get more than two and a half minutes into it before I gave up.

I got a 20, and it said my problem areas are also in blue/green. But I do mostly black and white, so bfd.

My score was 207! I've known this a long time and it can get pretty aggravating at times.

haha I had the same problem. I did the top row and didn't seem to have any problems with it, but there was no way that I could sit down and complete the whole thing.

I got an 8, though if these were printed color chips I think I could get it perfect or almost perfect. My eyes were going buggy staring at the screen that long and that intensely.

I pretty much gave up due to eye strain about halfway through, and from that point, just did a quick rearrange. Still got a 23, which I guess isn't too bad considering.

Wow, I'm really shocked I got a perfect score...I kept blurring my eyes to make them blend together. The blocks throw it off a bit, but if you blur your eyes you can see if they blend naturally...Surprise of the week for me!
