Are you colorblind?

Post Reply New Topic

I took the test and a picture came. It was gross and scared me. Is it a joke? Was it a eye or something?

Yes, I found the trick ending quite startling. Actually, I barely noticed the weird eye animation because the loud noise (I head my headphones on) made me jump (literally). I do not derive entertainment value from feeling startled, but I guess some people crave it. I have a very high startle response to unhabituated stimuli (behavioralist jargon at its finest).

Was anyone else taunted as a kid for "flinching"? At baseball practice, my teammates enjoyed pretending to throw baseballs at me to watch me cower. I learned to hide all outwardly fearful responses from that by necessity.

I saw the same sort of joke with a hearing test. I don´t think it´s funny.

I´m sure I´m not colourblind and the third question always gives answer "wrong", I think.

This sort of thing isn´t funny because people are searching for an answer about something that´s worrying them and then they they come at this site some irresponsible toddler has made.

The result of this sort of jokes is half of the internet is spoiled with all sort of crap, which makes finding something worthy more difficult and time-consuming.

Okay, here's the Real Thing for those of you that are really curious whether or not you might have colorblindness.

I used to 'flinch' when I thought something was going to hit me in the face, usually in sporting events. I, too, learned to suppress my instinct to flinch under such circumstances. More recently (well December 2003), I was at the Science Museum in London with two other people and a father and his son were playing with some silly yellow plastic flying contraption in the stair hall between floors and this thing veered towards me and my 'flinch' reaction was totally disproportionate to the actual threat. I tend to get very annoyed when I seemingly 'make a fool of myself' in front of other people. They should not have been playing with the thing in the stairwell anyhow.

I feel sad for those who are green blind.

Because they cannot read your (green-texted) posts, right?

Its not funny.

Even I took it very Seriously, it does make you Jump, Scarced Me Good. It was a good LAUGH.

hehe... I tried it 3 times. I wasn't sure if the third one was a 3 a 2 or a 5. I tried them all. The picture didn't make me jump, I just thought it was the failure picture, not a joke.... DOH...

Is this test really a proper test because for plates 3 I see 70 and plates 4 I see the number 5 and it says colourblind people should see it that way. I don't think I am colourblind so I think this test is a joke test?

As far as I know WooYayHooplah, the link that I posted is supposed to be a true site for testing to see if you are colorblind. I suppose they want you to look at each to see what number you see right away.

I think I do have a bit of colorblindness as sometimes greens appear blue to me or blues appear green. Also, some deep colors of purple look blue but deep blue hues never seem purple....go figure.

I think if I did feel I was colorblind, this is something I should be properly tested for (by a doctor) to find out for sure and not just go with the results of an online test. As it is, this slightly different perception of color is not causing a problem in my life....so I'll just go on with my usual routines and think of it merely as another amusing oddity of mine


The other test posted was not scary but slightly annoying to me being that I am obsessive compulsive and hate to be told I am wrong when I feel my answer is right. I have been known to argue with the TV when watching Jeopardy or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

I don't seem to have problems with any colours, just thought it was odd that I could read the numbers that normal people shouldn't be able to. I was fine with the other pictures. If I have any colour deficit then I am totally clueless as to what that might be.

No, if you focus on the blue you can see those extra numbers even if you have normal vision. At least, I could. The main test is if you can't see the earlier numbers.
