I got a ten, which isn\'t bad as this is my 12 day in a row working and creating an online store for work :)

It\'s not really an I.Q. test as it\'s has nothing really to do with intelligence but rather more to do with perception. Anyway I scored a paltry 94 which is not surprising as I am actually colourblind. What did surprise me was that I was equally as good with the red end, which I\'m meant to be rubbish at, as I was with the blue end, which I\'m meant to be able to see better than the average person. I was pretty poor at the green one as they tend to turn into various shades of grey for me.

I did find that I was able to change my perception of some of the hues by concentrating hard on them. The brain is a weird thing, it will automatically fill in things based on prior knowledge. When Thunderhawker did his orange krush orks I automatically saw them as green. Only when someone pointed out that they were orange did I realise and even then I had to sit and think \"those are orange\" before I could see it.

Originally posted by AvelornI thought some of the hues weren\'t exact though. 2 of the bricks were a bit darker then the colour I would have predicted.

Yeah, here, too. I kept moving them around but it was obvious they were supposed to be where they were but they were just a touch too dark. Most of the blocks were very obvious IMO; I think I spent about two minutes taking the test.

I got a 3, with the blue-green being flagged as my \"problem\" area. Maybe I can\'t see that, maybe it\'s the monitor. Dunno, but 3 is fine by me.

I\'m sure most problems are due to our monitors not being calibrated exactly. Didn\'t think of that in my tired mode.

I only did the first of the four rows - couldn\'t be bothered with the others, but when I looked at the graph they were all zero, so not bad :)

I wonder if the mini-painterly types would score better than \"civilians\" due to obsession with color and paint mixing? Is this a skill that can be trained or is the perception simply inherent?
