Death of a Shade of a Hue

A fun and telling exercise/game in which you line up color blocks in a row to change from one color to another.  When it’s over, they tell you where you have trouble differentiating.  I scored 26, what did you get?

    Aw, Amanda Mae, it’s a quarter to nine here in my time zone, and I started drinking a while ago. I’m not taking any perceptual test.

    Thats no excuse Sheila, its 9.45AM (Saturday) where I am and I’m still drunk from last night.

    nil.

    For reference, I’m curious how someone who is actually colorblind would score.

    Also, was anyone else boggled by the meaning of the little bar at the bottom? Maybe it makes more sense with different scores, but to me it just looked like “this is where zero falls on a number line from zero to 99.”

    It helps to have a colour calibrated monitor……… in fact I’d say it was essential.

    71. (Two whiskey & cokes)

    Zero! A good monitor does help, I’m sure.

    Well I think I’m sober with it being 1pm although I was up beautifully late! I scored 25 with no food and enough caffeine to anaesthetise a horse. I think it’s fixed as I was sure I was perfect!

    I’m going to try it later, I’m sure I perform better in all ways after alcohol

    OK I have retaken this after one bone dry martini, a quantity of white wine that was basically keeping me company whilst cooking and some full bodied red. I am contemplating Vodka but the test was taken without more spirit.

    16

    Scored 3, no booze involved… I was also boggled by the bar at the bottom of the results. I think a bad nights sleep and/or large quantities of caffeine or or alcohol would throw the results all to hell
