A colour blind test

[LONDONER]

Yes, there are certain professions that would not employ you if you had colour blindness. I can't think of many but anything to do with electrical wiring would certainly be one, pilot maybe also. Anyone else think of any?

[Wolfpack]

Wait......... I could not see anything :p

Hehe, I actually scored 10/10

9/10 A hat, a bird, a woman.

Still couldn't see it after I had the answer.

Interior design, fashion design, paint sales/mixing, custom picture framing

I got 2 out of 10 correct, and even those 2 I got right is only due to the multiple choice format. I should have failed 100%.

Surprised that more haven't fessed up to flunking the test. 8% of guys are color blind.

I used to do visual effects in hollywood blockbuster films and carefully hid my color blindness by working on the programming and 3D modeling, leaving the colors to co-workers. Almost no one knew.

I've done some of my own simple electrical wiring on the farm. The colors there are easy even for me to discern.

I first learned I was color blind at age 6 when I drew a green horse standing in a brown field of grass!

Strangely enough, I don't see grey as grey, but more like bright pink. I don't see black and white movies in black and white; I see them in color.

It takes enormous concentration to see red. I don't notice red on my own, but in context I know that something is red. For example, I once passed by two people having their picture taken in front of a tall shrub. I didn't understand why they chose that particular backdrop. While looking closely at the shrub, suddenly dozens of 5" diameter hibiscus flowers revealed themselves to be bright red. I could see them pop into red in an animated way. So a lot of color perception for me is my brain compensating for a lack of physical perception by my eyes.

In all the research I have done into color blindness, I never once found a category that fit my perception.

check the spoiler my previous post. that one's tricky for reasons other than color (all three of those things can be depicted in many more ways than numbers can)

[Bookworm]

I couldn't see any numbers at all (apart from the ones outside the circles) but no surprise, I've known I was colour blind since the age of 10 or so.

Yeah! 10/10 and no hesitation either. Thank you iPad

[Gideon]

10/10 but admittedly I had to guess at a few

*Chuckles*

And the woman/hat thing? I had to look but not -focus- to see it. Without the multiple choice I'd have failed that one for sure.

not color blind: 10/10
