I'm getting old. I used to score a 0 (perfect)..just took the test and scored an 8--though looking at the screenshot of my answer, I can see two of the errors I made.

I scored a 4... some of those were hard.

So apparently we might only be able to see colors we have names for.

Last time I scored a 4. This time I scored an 8, although I didn't agonize over it like last time. Either way, both results showed I have problems with green/blue.

I scored a 34, but it was some ranges in particular.

Still above average for my age range, though

Radiolab did something like that, about how language itself affects our thinking.
And we're not even getting into tetrachromats.

Also, I scored a 4. Not bad, since it's been about 15 years since I used to professionally grade color prints. Still got it.

I'm kind of interested in taking the test, but I don't want to take the time to calibrate my monitor. I know the blue has faded in the few years since I last adjusted the color, and I'd rather not have my monitor's inaccuracy screw up my results.

I took it here at work and got 127. I know I'm slightly color blind, but last time I took this at home I got somewhere in the low twenties, so I'm sure some of this is due to the monitor. A good color test is very hard to maker accurate across screens and time.

I did much better than I expected.

I don't remember how I scored last time we did this, I think I got a 2. This time, a 4, and all my mistakes were clumped right around yellow. It surprises me I do as well as I do on these tests.. I often seem to see "less" colors than other people (and I'm one of those poor souls who still swears the dress is white and gold), I have extreme difficulty picking out people in a crowd, even if I know them very well, and frankly, I see lots of afterimages when I stare at pictures like that intently for a while. I guess I'm not quite blind yet, though.

Mine were all clumped right in the brick red region.

Big fat zero. But if I take it again from scratch, it goes up. I don't know why, but it's happened every time I take this test.

Not even gonna try. Deuteranopia sucks.
