Colorblindness

[Apocalypse]

This test explains my color blindness well. I get asked randomly about whether or not I can tell what color something is.

You are supposed to pick the one of the three that looks most like the color of the main image.

I get about 33% each time.

I can't tell these apart.

I heard this is a shirt for women that <3 colorblind people.

100% for me on all the gamma settings. wahooo!

[Barnabas]

In spanish this is only known as daltonism (daltonismo).

I have 2 colorblind cousins, I think it is a pity

[Apocalypse]

Yeah, Deuteranopia is Dalton's. Less than .5% of the popular has it though.

Doesn't the army not like it if you're colorblind?

[LordShiva]

Don't ask, don't tell

[Apocalypse]

Correct, I am actually medically disqualified for what I do, even though I do it fairly well.

As I understand it, the U.S. Army used to classify color blind people as 4-F. Then the army discovered these folks can see right through camoflauging efforts. After that, they were made forward observers or put in scout aircraft.

Well, at least I'm not colorblind. However, take away my contacts or my glasses and I'm blind as a mole

I'm very mildly red-green colorblind. The only thing this seems to have any impact on, however (aside from passing color-blindness tests), is my ability to find my golfball on a fairway; I have trouble seeing a small speck of white against a field of green (as a result, I prefer to use flourescent yellow golf balls, which I can pick out more easily even though they are closer to green than the white ones. Go figure).

Aren't you in OCS? I have a question, why weren't you commissioned out of college. WTF? Very confusing

The company I used to work for had a CEO (from an engineering background) who was very insistent on making final decisions on the industrial design of new products. Fair enough. But no one could figure out why he was so insistent on using a garish orange trim on our new premium microphone line.

Later, we found out he was colorblind. And in denial. (He knew, but had never let himself be formally diagnosed.) The trim on the product line was ultimately changed to blue.

I got 100% but i had to estimate on some of them due to not matching up exactly. All the images did not have the same level of brightness.
