Color IQ

It is a fact that 1 in every 255 women have some degree of color blindness. For men that number is 1 out of 12. This is because men just aren't as great as women, but I digress. Color plays a huge role in everyday life. When we are young, one of the first questions of opinion you are expected to have an answer to is "What is your favorite color?". As it turns out, we don't all perceive color the same way. Some people are better able to discriminate between subtle variations in color. The link below is to a color test. Scoring a 0 means you have perfect color acuity, while 99 means you're basically color blind, *cough cough Mr. Sanders*... I scored an 11, which isn't horrible, but there are a fair number of people who get 0. Try it out and see if you're one of them.

    I got a 15, and that was so hard. It hurt my eyes after a while, and I couldn't really tell the difference. But, I suggest everyone takes it because I want to see how you guys do! Take it, it's a cool test.

    I got a 12, which seems to be pretty good. It is interesting to see how various people get different scores, meaning we view colors differently. It took some time for me to do it, more than I expected since it was a bit confusing at first...

    I took the test and got a 4!! It took me a while to finish the test and it hurt my eyes after looking to long, but I enjoyed it!! I wanna make my mom take this test because sometimes she would insist that something is the color she sees while my siblings and I see a different color.
