Colour Blind? I figured out what type I have.

[Slyer]

I've just been doing a bit of research into this and figured out that I'm Deuteranomalous "green weak". Means that some of the greens that are closer to red on the colour spectrum appear as just red to me. Appparently it affects 5% of the males but less than half a percent of females.

I've discovered it's a pain when playing the game I just got, Bad Company 2. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between friendy green and enemy red icons...

Was wondering how many others are the same? Or have a more severe colour blindness? Monochromous?

I can still easily tell a Kwaka from a Honda though, that's all that matters right? ;)

If I ever mistake a Kwakasaki for a Honda, please shoot me.
Tested 100% normal.
Always wanted to do this test again, haven't done it since I was 7 or 8 years old.

Sweet, that just confirms what the optometrist told me last week for my Airforce pre-selection testing, totally normal colour vision :D

[slofox]

Normal for me...(about the only thing that is!)

4-5% of males are color blind in some way. The gene is carried by the mother & passed on to sons. I'm red green deficient.

If you tested positive for any of the colour blindnesses, might that have stopped you joining?

I'm sure I have good vison, but I had trouble seeing the numbers on these pics.

[Slyer]

Could you see them at all? If you can't you might be green weak, do the other test. Can anyone else see the number? I sure can't.
I can see the other two numbers here:

Yep it probably would've. I can be half-blind but as long as i have normal colour vision and some glasses i'm allowed in :lol:

[mynameis]

Perfect for me :D

[kevfromcoro]

Shit iam blind as a bat

Only got about 4 of them..

Now where is my lime green honda.............

[Ronin]

Yup, I'm red-green colour blind. Don't let me drive in a strange town at night with traffic lights DAMHIK.

Oh, and you rapidly get tired of "then what colour is this" question. I just answer purple to everything now.

ROFLMFAO :rofl:

Teeshirthell.com you say.

[Berries]

Yeah, I'm pretty badly colour blind. Can't play snooker for shit. Apart from the green and brown both being reds I have been known to cue up on the pink rather than the white. I tend to stick to pool now, I can do spots and stripes.

I did once get to the final stage of being an apprentice engineer for British Airways. The final stage involved a medical, with colour vision being quite important. They had a little illuminated globe in the corner of a dark room with different filters and you had to name all the colours. I think I got to about 11 or 12 before they turned the light on and I was told there were only six. Didn't get that job.

Could be worse though, I could be a ginger. Eh ? Nahhhh ?

You'd still think you had green hair though....

The only time its messed me up was reading the front of me Beano Annual as a kid, seeing the price of a can in a coke machine, reading those bloody numbers in circles.....an one more ....er what was it now:confused:..... oh...and applying to be an aircraft electrician:nono:.

[Slyer]

I wonder why colour blind people like working on planes so much? :bleh:

[Owl]

Woohoo, perfect!:banana: Though I already knew that, as I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I was colour blind.
