I just went through this neat little eyesight test that quizzes your ability to distinguish hues from one another.
http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77
The quiz involves simply arranging the tiles in each line to form as perfect of a gradient as possible.
With 0 being "Perfect Eyesight" and 35 being about the average for most adults, how well do you score? And where are you shaky in your vision?
I got an 8, having the most trouble in the Red-Oranges and Green-blues.
Scored an 8 as well.
Your score: 4
Gender: Male
Age range: 20-29
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520
Your score: 0
Gender: Male
Age range: 16-19
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520
Yay :-D!
Your score: 3
Gender: Male
Age range: 16-19
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520
The Best and Highest seem to be saturated.
On a CRT monitor.
The best scores should be ignored. You could have a monitor that displayed only two colors, and still pass the test with a perfect score - provided you used color-sampling software.
And, yes, I used some color sampling software on the test, but I didn't cheat (I only used my color judging skills to put the colors in the right order). I just verified that everything was correct, and the test was indeed accurate :wink:.
I got 4.
All 4 of my misses were adjacent to each other in the neighborhood of 'dull green-orange'. Although the orange to violate part of the spectrum gave me the hardest time
All 3 of my misses where adjacent in the violet area.
Funny thing is in chem lab I was the only one in my group of four who could see the violet at all on the spectroscope.
Quote * Your score: 0
* Gender: Male
* Age range: 20-29
* Best score for your gender and age range: 0
* Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520
And I did not cheat in any way shape or form, unlike Angstromicus. :P
Not surprising though, I have 20/10 version (double better then what is considered perfect) and can see a slightly wider range then the 'norm' (but is still not uncommon).
And sunlight blinds me; I quite literally cannot see out in the sun without a dark pair of sunglasses on. Bright light also has a tendency to make me nauseous and tired...

Too much time in front of a computer, that. all those ones and zeros...
Lol, maybe I should have rephrased what I said:
I took the test, used Photoshop, and then pressed the submit button (without making any changes since starting up Photoshop).
Yeah, I'm sure you didn't :lol:
Excellent. AHadley believes me and is so relieved that he had the giggles.

8... blah.
Your score: 9999
Gender: Real Man
Age range: 45-99
Best score for your gender and age range: 9999
Highest score for your gender and age range: 9999
Huh. Go figure.
Real Men, it seems, see only the primary colors.
This makes that whole test pretty darn easy.
:lol:
-Av-
(running joke at work, for Men there is no 'magenta', or 'chartruse', there's only Red, Green, Blue... )
Green is not a primary color. :)
Computers are ruining us!
A buddy of mine says there are seven primary colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violent.
However, though, waves of light are just waves of light. There are an infinite number of shades between each primary colors which are non-dependant on adjacent colors, but, rather, the wavelength of the photon itself and its interaction with devices that encode the information into an understandable format.
We a primary colors each type of color-detecting cone in the eye that detects color. All males have a maximum of three cones, so they really see three colors. These are the primary colors for them. A few females, however, have four cone types (I believe these are in the orange range), So they see four colors. Fortunately, people can see many hues in between these primary colors. Most people can see, on average, about a million hues. The few females who have that extra cone (and provided that it's correctly developed), can see about a hundred million hues. However, that's nothing to the 12 color cones that stromatopods have :-o.
I wonder when biotechnology for eye replacements will become advanced enough to top that. Would be cool to see more colors, I guess :-P.
I got a 21 :lol:
I suppose this has something to do with the fact that I have 20/100 vision...

My vision is probably like that as well. I have Astigmatism. Though, I took the test using a monitor with a 102% gamut rating in a totally dark room (You'd be hard pressed to find a consumer monitor with more accurate color reproduction than the 305T Plus).
:D go watch this TOO

you have a stigmata of the eye.
QuoteYou have perfect color vision!
FM Hue Test Results
Not bad for someone on the wrong side of 30.
BTW...
QuoteI have 20/10 version (double better then what is considered perfect)
Perfect is actually closer to 20/08. 20/20 is what is considered "average or normal". As such you can see the same detail at 20 feet that someone with "normal" vision can see at 10 feet. Still pretty good :)

It might be better, the 20/10 is only the lowest the person tested at. Although I am quite certain my vision is getting worse as I get older. I should have it tested again, all of my family requires glasses to see so it would be odd if I was the odd one out in that regard, considering how prevalent it is...

Yeah, same here.
