My only question is, "Was the first part of this test legitimate?"
Because if it was, I failed miserably. Maybe that's why people keep complaining about bad colors in my submissions.

They looked rather original to me. Look at this site: //www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/Ishihara.html for the real stuff. Or hit 'Ishihara color blindness test' on Google and test away.
So-called color blindness is a common inherited aberration in about 10% of men. We inherit the gene from our mothers, who rarely have the overt version of the aberration, since it is X-chromosome bound and recessive in its expression. This implies, that only when a girl would get an afflicted gene from both her father and another one from her mother, then she would have the affliction herself. (However, female bearers of the gene can be detected by means of more subtle tests than Ishihara's).
I speak of affliction, since 'colorblindness' is not really a blindness, but a different way of perceiving the colored world around us. Depending on the sort of change in sensitivity of the 3 color sensitivities that we have (red, blue and green) the mixtures of these 3 colors in the real world are appreciated differently by people with a so-called colorblindness. The affliction may range from the absolute absence of one of the color sensitivities to a diminished sensitivity of one of the 3. In the latter case one may for instance have furious disputes on mixtures of blue/green with 'normal' color visioned people. On the other hand it may lead to a heightened appreciation for shades of red.
So, all in all, do the test and see what the diagnosis is, knowing that you are not alone and that this kind of blindness is in no way the sort of blindness that would mean the difference between vision and no vision at all.

All but at maybe one or two (including, I think, the last one) are legitimate. I was doing it with my daughter - I'm color blind, she isn't. We saw different numbers up till the last two. The next to the last one, she saw the right number, I didn't see anything. The last one, neither of us saw anything.
Wish I had known what was going to happen before I went through it with my daughter.... |
