Take this test to find out if you are.

I hope to hear your results.

I only got the second one right and the test told me im colourblind. I dont think so, maybe not all that perceptive but not colourblind.

I had to take off my glasses to see the first one.

I tried 8 and 5 for the last one, both came up "color blind."

Again, I don't think so.

I can see the colors just fine.

The third one is a freaking 5, that test is pathetic.

I don't have the colourblind gene.

I'd take the test, but I don't have flash installed. That, and I already know I'm colorblind.

I'm colorblind. I had a real colorblindness test years ago, and the result was I completely failed every one of the tests.

ROFLMAO!! ! Oh man, I love you guys, you make me see the funny side of Aspergers! No wonder I get so confused! Oh, and I'm DEFINATELY not laughing mockingly, I find it hilarious because I know that at any given time, half of us will appear absolutely clueless, and that includes me!

The fact of the matter is, that site was a joke! The 'appropriate' and neurotypical response is to get really involved in trying to figure out the numbers as well as really soothed and relaxed by the music. By the time you are at question three, you are well and truly relaxed, at which point you are SUPPOSED to jump out of your little skins when you get this 'scary' picture and 'frightening' screams coming out at you, supposedly from the blue.

:lol: I love it! Oh man! I'm sorry, usually this would be me too, but I've seen this sort of thing before where they get you concentrating and then they scare you. Lol.

"But it WAS a 5" - priceless! :D

They needed more test questions. I wasn't soothed yet.

The last one was 582.

*laughs*

PhoenixKitten, I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized it was a prank.

Prank? NO! It's a learning tool.... studies show people who are color-blind can learn to see colors if they're severly punished. :P

It wasn't even funny.

It was more of a n00b joke.

It's also old. There are hundreds of jokes like that and it only worked the first time.
