How much do you suck at eyeballing a measurement? =P

Basically a few tests to see how much you suck.  At the end you can see how much you suck compared to everyone else.  I sucked slightly less than average.



It seems I totally suck at determining convergence. D:

Neat, though my infant son decided to smack the keyboard while playing. That means I am not posting this :)

That's actually a quite good find! Rest assured we are going to spend some minutes playing that on working place!

Bah, only 2.66. I even got 0.0 for convergence (once), right angle (0.1 once) and circle centers seem easy also (~ 1.13 average). Triangle center was apparently the hardest one. For some reason, bisection didn't work that well either.

Most likely I never need to do bisecting and triangle centering at work.

On a completely unrelated note, except for the shared visual element, do you know how much of your field of vision is in color?

3.45.  I got worse as it progressed.  Probably because of failure to care.

My score would have been under two if my mouse pointer didn't have an irritating tendency to hurl itself across my screen and cause me to get the occasional 87 or 89.

Inaccurate (but well working) answer: All of it

Accurate answer depends on the definition of "your field of vision" and "in color"

Got a 5.05.  Trying again to be better (as always).

I got a 3.40 :D

I actually hit a flat 0.0 on circle center and didn't go above 1.5 on bisecting angles.

High Scores as of now:
3.40  Scotty
4.79  Scotty
5.05  Scotty
6.40  Scotty

I got a 2.95 on my first try!

Also, a 0.0 on the first bisecting-angle. Terrible at equidistant triangle thing... 4.9, 3.1, 14.7

Is it not all or at least nearly all of it?  I'm pretty sure I can accurately determine the color of something close to the edge field of vision. <_<
Though of course the resolving power definitely goes down farther from the center.

The second angle bisect and the third triangle center hurt my score.

Very, very little of your visual field is actually received in color. Most of it is actually just filled in by your brain. Like most of your perception, in fact - it's built off sketchy information by some very extensive neural algorithms.

See above. Your ability to perceive color in peripheral vision is for the most part an illusion.
