Are you a superchromat?

15. I already knew my colour discrimination in the green range is not that good from an actual ophthalmologists' test a few years back. But according to this test, I also have a deficiency towards blue. Hm. Well, looking at the spectrum, I guess it's green towards blue and green towards yellow, so it's both still associated with green. Makes sense, I suppose.

I got a 20, oh well, I guess that's good? The site doesn't really say what's average.

Perfect score.

I'm surprised, seeing how many times I sat there switching two squares over and over, trying to figure which one was which.
There's definitely an element of luck involved.

Edit: I just took it a second time and got a zero. Let my story be an inspiration for all of you, you can overcome your chromat deficiency like I did. Just don't lose hope and keep trying. Also it helps if you tilt your screen back a little.

First, I do not think there is such a thing as a superchromatic, that term is misleading at best, especially because humans are already divided into three ranks of color-sensitivity.

Bichromatics are usually what we refer to as 'color blind.'
Trichomatics are normal.
Tetrachomatics -as the name suggests- see four color wavelengths. Oddly, no known male has ever been tetrachomatic, and it is thought only women can genetically become tetrachomatics.

This test does not really allow for tetrachromatics, and while they are rare, many do not even know that they have superior color-sensitivity and live out their lives believing they simply have different taste in colors, art, and photography.

It is possible that a truly superior tetrachomatic could take this test and be given a low score, because no one can truly predict how they see color. Much less how that color could be represented via a monitor.

I scored a 35 but I am playing on a crappy laptop that displays color like ass. If I had a more properly calibrated monitor I am sure I'd do much better. Even better, if I had color swatches in front of me.

Chalk up another perfect score... Then again, I've worked with quite a bit of art so I've trained my eyes to find the right color for things.

My first thoughts are: "By hue order? What? How? I don't see how I can do this accurately...they all look so...samey."

Not a good sign. My dad's colourblind, so it figures.

Then I take the test and my result iiis....



4! If I took more time I might have gotten a perfect score, but I'll gladly take this. Funny that my discrimination is low in the blue area, that's the only colour my dad can really see. Even so, I rushed a little at the last bit.

I'm way too proud of this.

Was a bit rushed but I scored a 14. I think the last time I took this test I got a 3 or 4.
The only way I can really tell the difference between alot of the hues is if I concentrate in a way that makes me nauseous, I know for a fact that my eyes translate some greens to blues and blues to greens.

I've never thought I could see such ugly colours. *shivers*
But yeah I got four
I don't know what the graph bar means. I assume that means I made a mistake, but it only goes up one unit and I don't know. Still. Those colours. I can't take it, too ugly.

I scored an eight. Not too bad, but honestly my Biochroma is a bit lacking, I used some of my Breath to escape prison earlier.

I did this test at school using the physical color tab (thingies). Me and one my other teammates scored a 0. We did the same test in a room with a red tinted light. The scores were not so good, then XD.

Warbreaker reference, I see what you did there...

Also somehow got a perfect score on first try, didn't think I had it in me. And my gf thinks I am color blind, that would show her how much she knows :)

I got a 0! This was neat! It didn't take very long, I just started by throwing all the pieces of similar color to each side... once they were next to each other it was easier to differentiate between shades. This is a different skill than recognizing different colors, though... since you can compare them side by side. It's useful for seeing how well you see hues, though.

I got 2, but I think I got lucky. There were several hues where I could not really discern any difference and only got right by sheer luck. Still though, I think I did pretty well overall.

I'm a little bit colorblind, so my initial reaction was "Well, I guess this is how my hell would look like". Needless to say I closed the test and curled up in a corner crying.

12. I'm seeing lines everywhere now.. blergh.

I tried real hard on the first one, and then kinda got bored and phoned it in more & more as the test progressed. Shit was annoying to look at.
