Hue Differentiation TestMy father took this test, and scored 192* My mother scored 36 and I scored 8. *The score is a measure error ratio, so higher scores mean lower accuracy. A higher Color deficiency. I won't lie, I'm quite proud of my score. I'm interested to see what some of you get. (If you can be coaxed) Also, I'm personally calling Dashe out on challenge for this one. There are a few tricks to getting better results, and I used them, so I'll divulge them here for fairness. Move your head so the color you're looking at is always dead center in front of it, it'll reduce screen color change on LCD and other flat panel displays. Hold each swatch halfway between the colors you're comparing it to, and look for the edges. Everything else is determining whether two hues are different.

I've scored 16. Colors were never my forte, as a lot of people here can probably attest.  Good job. |

If you want an opinion, using a test with colors that are [virtually] all the same is a bad way to test "color blindness." Overall, if someone can tell the difference between blue and red, I'd say they're not colorblind. If you have to strain yourself and almost go blind in the process on a test such as this to make a good score, then that says something about it right there: It's bad with its method. But, that's just one man's opinion. In addition, I found this sort of test obnoxious back in high school, so I probably won't be taking it for fear of being judged. Sorry~  |

color blindness isn't on a 0 or 1 scale. This test measures your ability or lack thereof, of differentiating similar hues.
It is a valid scientific method for determining how much difficulty one has at color differentiation.
If they colors all look virtually the same to you, then you probably are fairly severely color challenged.
It's not a test you're meant to try to win, it is a test that highlights an answer that is already there. If you cannot determine the difference between hues, you will have a different score than if you can.
Straining yourself won't affect the outcome. What I suggested was merely to overcome the color distortion of digital displays. Normally this test would be done with colored swatches.
The method is not what is at fault, and the test is not obnoxious.
I'm sorry if you feel offended, but it is not an offense.

color blindness isn't on a 0 or 1 scale. This test measures your ability or lack thereof, of differentiating similar hues. It is a valid scientific method for determining how much difficulty one has at color differentiation. If all of the hues are similar, then it's not exactly hard to call the color by the same name, which is why I think the test in itself is silly. The ability to determine the difference isn't an important trait when the difference is so minuscule. If they colors all look virtually the same to you, then you probably are fairly severely color challenged. It's not a test you're meant to try to win, it is a test that highlights an answer that is already there. If you cannot determine the difference between hues, you will have a different score than if you can. Potato, Po-tah-to, right? Straining yourself won't affect the outcome. What I suggested was merely to overcome the color distortion of digital displays. Normally this test would be done with colored swatches. While I will admit that certain monitors have their distortions regarding color (Like True Color being disabled or enabled in Windows 8.1), it still doesn't make the point of what the test proves any clearer to me even if it was on swatches like in high school. The method is not what is at fault, and the test is not obnoxious. I'm sorry if you feel offended, but it is not an offense. What isn't obnoxious to you may still be to someone else. I'm not saying sharing it in itself is an offense or anything. If I said something wrong, feel free to point it out, but I feel as if everything I've said is sound as an opinion. I stated at the beginning that it was such. Maybe it wasn't the best choice to convey my opinions, but perhaps it was better than being silent in the long run. I did recognize the test from the past, and I simply am not fond of it. |

The hues are only similar to those immediately before and after them.
The hues at opposite ends of the test are static and completely different, in no way confusable unless you cannot detect color.
They cannot therefore be "all extremely similar."
There are 88 unique hues in this test that span the entire 360 degrees of the color spectrum.
The test itself cannot have the property of being obnoxious. Only the observer is capable of finding it so.
The test doesn't judge, it simply analyzes fact, and displays the result.
I suppose I simply can't comprehend how an objective test can be in any way insulting. Its no different from a hearing test or a cancer screen. None of them are necessary, but the results of which could very well lead to beneficial awareness.
I suppose the most direct comparison would be a vision clarity test. Its almost exactly the same thing in that case.
But I'm not going to turn this into an ongoing thing. I won't say anything else on the subject.

Well I'm not so sure how to feel about my results. I am fairly obviously colorblind because I really have bad trouble telling a clearly green color from a clearly yellow color. Also a dark brown from a dark red, or a dark green and vice versa. Also I have real difficultly determining what purple is.
I scored a 44, and that does not seem really that bad. Is 44 an accurate score for me? I can't say.

The scoring is complex and there would have been a graph at the end that explains where you had the most trouble.

This was kind of interesting too and reminded me of the personality test thingy haha. Unfortunately, the file provided needed flash to run, and I tried to download a separate player for it, but it still wouldn't run so I decided to look elsewhere. It seems to be the same test but I'm not sure. This one involves dragging a whole buncha colors and matching them up, while the two colors at the end are static.  That said, because of the way some monitors are built and, honestly, the differences in hues are so tiiiny, that I wouldn't call people who score high on this one suffering from some form of color-blindness. I am just really particular about my colors and if something looked wrong, I switched it up. That said I don't know how someone can score 16021602. Since I recently took up sprite art I'm even more anal about these things haha... |
