For years, people have had to take eye tests. And they usually involve reading off lines of letters and numbers that appear larger and smaller through a scope. Naturally, the smaller these letters are, the more difficult it is to read them. These tests are typically only done at eye appointments, when getting a driver’s license and in elementary schools. But, there is a new quiz that is out that may have a role in determining just how well your vision is.
The quiz is designed to determine the ability of the person’s color sensitivity and the object is to detect objects that are nearly invisible. A sequence of five letters, shapes or numbers appear on a board as part of the quiz and as they progress across the board, the images get more ambiguous, thus making the person work harder to determine what it is. It is the fifth object in the row that is the most challenging and the person’s result, could determine whether they have high color sensitivity or a slight color deficiency.
As you can see in the image below, the fifth number is much less clear that the four proceeding it…
And as you go down the boards, the fifth image in each only gets more difficult to see…
As you can see (or not see) below, the images get more and more challenging as you proceed with the quiz…
For those who can pick up on the number five in the above image, they are said to have high sensitivity to color. After you go through all the boards, you are asked to calculate your score to determine your answer. The final answer not only shows your level of vision, but it also says a bit about your personality.
One quiz taker was pretty excited about her result as having Expert Color Vision…
“You have flawless vision and a rare gift for color sensitivity.
Getting such a high score in this confusing test, means that you are a real fighter. You didn’t give up, even when the questions were extremely tricky. You were able to stay focused in order to complete this test perfectly. That’s, by the way, exactly the type of personality you have. You never give up, you work hard to achieve your goals and when people are asked to describe you, the first two words they use are: “Smart” and “perfectionist.” That’s quite an impressive combination of traits, reserved only to the most talented leaders and real superstars. WOW!”
Quiz takers have offered their own tidbits of advice on how to master the color test…
“Just squint if you’re struggling to see them.”
And others started to really question their vision after taking the test…
“Flunked on question 3 onwards. Let me know what others saw. I saw the E the 5 and nothing to see on anything. Really annoying.”
“Wondering whether I have a real problem? Hmm!”
Those with expert color vision are questioning the reliability of the test…
“Well, I got a lot of compliments which is rather nice, but I wonder about the true value of this test.”
