Are you a superchromat?

[The Code]

That's pretty cool. I got a six, and I wear glasses.

 

[Saulkar]

I scored a 4, the exact same number in the exact same region as I did 5 years ago. I guess my eyes are doing pretty good then.

 

[madster11]

I got a 22, which considering i'm on a cheap-ass laptop monitor i figure isn't that bad. Might try it again later on my good 22" monitor.

 

[xmbts]

I got a 3, pretty good considering how awful my eyes are.

 

[Caffiene]

First, I do not think there is such a thing as a superchromatic, that term is misleading at best

That would be because its a term that comes from the magic system in the Lightbringer book series mentioned in the OP...

 

[Makhiel]

Perfect score, now how do I put this superpower to a good use?

 

[Reiper]

O_O ... uh... WTF?! OK, how did you manage that? Your shade distinctions must be really good...

Nah I just have a really rare version of achromatopsia where I actually have perfect color vision. I just have reduced visual acuity in both eyes (20/50) that is not correctable with glasses, as well as being photophobic.

 

[Subscriptism]

281. I have terrible time distinguishing hues of blue and purple. I am however diagnosed colourblind. The entire third line was the same colour to me.
Beat that for having shit eyes guys.

 

[Whispering Cynic]

Scored 4, it means I'll have to properly calibrate my monitor. Also, watching that page is really unpleasant, feels like it hurts my eyes.

 

[Dyan]

124, not really surprising since I have really bad eyesight, without glasses anything farter away than a meter is a indistinct blur.

 

[Proto325]

I scored 4.

I like how it said the best score for my gender and age range (male, 20-29) is -200.

 

[MHR]

It said I had perfect!

I'm so proud of myself for something I have no control over... besides not looking into the sun I guess.

Now if only I gave half a crap about paintings.

Also, unrelated to the test, do the colors purple and violet look very similar or is that just me?

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

I have damned good eyesight.

I did too... until I stared at your avatar for 7 minutes. Now it's all I see. When I look at my child's face, I see the rainbow kitty.

You monster.

 

[TehCookie]

124, not really surprising since I have really bad eyesight, without glasses anything farter away than a meter is a indistinct blur.

Anything further than 30cm is a blur to me, yet I still got a perfect score.

If I couldn't see colors I'd be screwed, that's the only way I can tell blurs apart without my glasses.

 

[SuperUberBob]

Got a 99.

Strangely enough, I never have trouble with the Ishihara Color Vision Test.

Oh great. Now I find out I'm somewhat colorblind could this day get any better?

 

[DkLnBr]

I got an 8. Not bad, but it seems I have problems with Green and Magenta. I'm going to say that my screen isn't calibrated properly so I can still maintain that I'm perfect!

So, yay. Also, on the second screen, where it compares your score to other in your demographic, mine lists the lowest score as -160 and the highest at 444,445,389. On a scale of 0 to 99. So, umm, that's weird.

Ya I saw that too. What the hell is going on with that? Can the -160 person see into ultraviolet and infrared? and I don't even want to know what happened with the 444,445,389 score...

 

[Weaver]

I got a 3, My biggest fault was in the bottom row.
My only problem with this test is it takes too long

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.

Not sure if already answered but a superchromat is a term from Brent Weeks series the Lightbringer. Magic in the book is divided into the light spectrum with each chromat having acess to one or more colours. A superchromat can see a greater view of a colour than someone who isn't a superchromat. That is important in the series because the quality of the magic depends on how close a person can get to a perfect hue of that colour. So a superchromat of blue would make a better and longer lasting staff than someone who isn't a superchromat.
