I got a 4.

http://www.colblindor.com/farnsworth...r-vision-test/

^ This is the same test, but this one actually gives you a breakdown of exactly what type of color-blindness you have.

I actually administer a version of this test in the office quite a bit. It is a requirement for RCMP, police, and various other professions, to pass it.

As for driving. The hues in the Colors on the traffic lights are designed so that people with color blindness can distinguish them.

On this one my score shot up to a 12, however I did second guess myself a lot more then on the last one. According to the results I have zero cvd or whatever it's called.

CVD = color vision defect. You do not have one. It is expected that you will miss a few here and there.

This one is closer to the real life test. The real life test is quite challenging and it is rare for people to get a zero score.

Well thats nice to know.

Now if I could only fix my Amblyopia and my Astigmatism in my left eye, that would be great. However, at least I can say that I know what it's like to have both horrible vision and great vision without having to get laser eye surgery. On the downside, I can't see those hidden 3D images that used to be on the back of cereal boxes...

I spent hours of my life trying to get them to work...

I'm thinking its time to see an eye doctor I guess. It's weird because I can read small text from miles away, have really good "vision" but my color's are all messed up.

Trying this Farnsworth test right now.

Scored a 12, but damn that was a challenge for me. Co workers must of thought I was working real hard based on how hard I was straining

** TEST SCORE 80 **
And on my chart when I click the "green" deficiency it matches perfectly with my "high confusion areas"

CVD: Deutan-/Green-Deficiency
CVD Severity: Slight

Does this mean my chances of any job in the law enforcement are nill? (Directed @ Hesla)

It does decrease your chances. Certain law enforcement agencies require perfect color vision (it varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction). Best thing to do is to contact your local recruitment center and ask about it.

I got 15, but my monitor is about 12 or 13 years old, so probably not a bad score all things considered.

That one is harder (partly because the interface isn't as good sometimes you move them and they don't switch). But there were a couple where I could not detect a difference between them no matter how I tried. The way my errors offset each other I'm going to blame the colour rendition of my monitor

Got a 7 but I kind of rushed through it. Started to go a little bug eyed at one point.

Zero. Guess my monitor's colour is fine, even though its highlights and shadows suck to all hell.

Your score: 8

Some issues in the teal and mauve areas. No wonder I hated Miami Vice.
