Already done these tests many years ago and yes, just confirmed what I already know am colourblind hehe It's not something typically you just catch/get, it's (most likely) with you your whole life.

When you see what we can't see, you may understand why it's so tough to find the right sox and why we like bright colors, which are often identifiable.

I know this is Off topic section but it still irks me how Anet changed the colour scheme for GW; it's much harder to tell condition changes and interrupts happening now


Incidently that page is slightly incorrect; it is not exclusively 10-20% white male population, but this applies to general male population. It's not so common among females.

I'm not colorblind but I kinda already knew that.

I know a kid who is colorblind though and it looks like his pupil is leaking out into the rest of his eye. It sorta looks like a cats eye. Do the colorblind people here have normal looking eyes or do your eyes look different like that kid's.

I knew I was red/green colour blind before i took the test, but even when I tried taking it the words "What the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO..." slipped out my mouth before i knew what I had said.

That kid had some problems other than colorblindness apparently. Colorblindness is caused by the rods and cones inside the eye not functioning properly. It has nothing to do with pupil or iris.

My case exactly. I was tested for colourblindness when I was having trouble in school in grade 2 (which was over ten years ago now ). In any case, I have taken this test before and I'm still colourblind.

I also have to agree with the colour scheme change remark. It has made monking more difficult for me as well because I can't tell when somone has a condition or not in most cases (I have to adjust my screen brightness in order to tell, and that makes the rest of the colours look fugly). Usually I just assume they have a condition because their health is degenerating and they're not under a hex
