Test your color IQ

Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | Photos |

Color perception test at xrite.com. A perfect score is zero (no mistakes) and a bad score can be over 100. I got a 4, which surprised me a little. I didn’t think my color perception was that good.

Hmmm, I got an 11, all with the same 1 point off errors, in three bands on the right side of the spectrum.

I’ve got pretty good color discrimination and I knew it; but the monitor on my laptop is TN film (like many LCDs) and uncalibrated. With a calibrated monitor using a more accurate color technology I think I could get down a bit lower.

78, but my color perception is actually worse than demonstrated in the test.

What does this test look like to somebody with tetrachromacy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy

Interesting. I got a 27. The blues threw me… they hurt my eyes looking at them.

I got a perfect score. I wonder if that is unusual. My husband thinks I’m a tetrachromat…lol.

I got a perfect score!!!! It was acutally very easy! Im with Lindsay, I wonder if it is common that people get a perfect score.

I got a 4. I’ve always known I have good color vision (got an A+ in a color class in college). When I’m shopping, I can often match colors with things I have at home. I had an eye exam last month and the dr. did a laser scan of my retina. He found that I have more than the average number of cones. Maybe that helps?

“I got a perfect score too. It wasn’t all that difficult to do.”

Thing is, getting 20/20 on an eye test isn’t all that difficult, either, if your vision is perfect. Either ya got it or ya don’t.

Yep I got a zero, wouldn’t say it was easy though. Took me 5-7 minutes to do.
