How well do you see color ?

Reading more about the test it says the manual version, not the one here, but the one that comes in a kit with colors you sort by hand, has also been used to help diagnose medical conditions.

I had never thought about that before. I wonder how much medical conditions like diabetes do effect a persons ability to see colors correctly.

Only spot I had some problems with was the teal, blueish-green hues (just off to the left side of the center of the spectrum as they showed it).
 
Considering that most people have poorly calibrated monitors (myself included, even though mines is true 8-bit: just lazy and low standards), how accurate is this "test"...

Anyways, I fail. I did one row, then couldn't stand the visual 'tatoo' of 4 rows.
 
Not too bad!....... and my wife thinks I don't know colors! 🙂

EDIT---- They should have an "AVG." score also!


 
I got a 3.

Give me a quart (maybe a gallon on an off day) of paint and standard Sherwin-Williams tints and I could reproduce every single one of those colors by eye, too.

I was curious how much the monitor effects the results so I emailed and got the response: "

If the monitor is using the correct color depth it will show if a tester is deficient in a spectrum regardless of whether or not the monitor is correctly calibrated to the individual colors. If the monitor or color temperature of the monitor is not set correctly the results will still show that the tester is deficient. The results of the test may list the wrong spectrum range as being the problematic area for the tester.
"


So from that I guess it means if it says you got a problem , you maybe do, but not necessarily in the exact colors it says.

Same.
 
i got a zero, it was pretty easy for me to see where the colors didn't fit, some i would swap back and forth and it looked the same to me, so I think i got lucky on a few of them

Wow. I bet I could been pretty successful as a CG artist. Oh well -- those types of jobs probably don't pay all that great anyhow. Looks like all these years of staring at a computer screen at work and at home hasn't completely ruined my eyes.
