I got them all, but some weren't easy.

Me, too.
Eye of an Eagle
A+
Wow! You answered all correctly and have scored the highest possible score! You have an impressive sight! You have the ability to notice the tiniest nuances and details, and nothing gets past you! Congratulations to you!
It was hard, but now I can't help wondering if most people get them all. And I'm bothered by "you have an impressive sight" - can't these people write?

I got them all correct also. Maybe indeed everybody does. I have had optic neuritis several times and supposedly that "washes out" your color vision. However, I always do well on the Ishihara test my neurologist or ophthalmologist gives me - the one where you have to pick out the numbers in a sea of colored dots.
gk, did you see the news story yesterday studying the grammar of all the presidential candidates? Even the best candidates had more than 6 errors per hundred words! Democrats scored better than Republicans. IIRC, Lincoln Chaffee scored best, Donald Trump was the worst.

Last night I watched a video of Kevin McCarthy talking (he has since dropped out of the race for speaker). My husband opined that he was either on drugs or suffering from the effects of a stroke. This is not hyperbole. His speech was truly that garbled.

Um, Jane - did you think his color vision was impaired?

Um, Jane - did you think his color vision was impaired? Well I did comment on political grammar since there were grammatical errors (at least one) in the quiz. And there are issues with how Republicans deal with People of Color. |

Okay. The pressure is on.
My Dahhlink regularly tells me that I am color blind: greens vs blues.

I got them all correct, but I'd hardly say I have the eye of an eagle. I've had a cataract removed and a hole repaired in my retina. If not for those polycarbonate lenses my glasses would look like the bottoms of Coke bottles. Even with my progressive lenses I find myself peering over the top of my glasses because I can't find the sweet spot to bring something small into focus. If I could have one somewhat selfish wish granted, I would wish for perfect eyesight. *sigh*

Whoa! Eye of an Eagle. I'm VERY surprised.
The last part (with the blues, greens and maroons) was extremely difficult for me. But then, I made my choices after moving my computer screen out of the sunshine. Hehe.

Your eye doctor can test for color blindness quite easily, but the main focus is on red-green color blindness because it is essential to distinguish while driving - red light-green light, doncha know. IIRC, color blindness is more common in men that women because it is linked to the X chromosome. You can test yourself! Here are the Ishihara plates: www.colour-blindness.com/colour-blindness-tests/ishihara-colour-test-plates/ |

I have to remind myself that I am happy and fortunate to be able to SEE, even if I see with problems.  |
