Ran into this little test on one of the forums where the rest of the amateur astronomer scum and villains gather:

So I decided to test my eyes to see if I'm full of it when I think a certain telescope eyepiece is giving a slightly warmer tone in comparison to another, stuff like that. Apparently, I'm not

To be honest, I did expect a good result, but I was very pleasantly surprised to get a perfect score... Let's see how the rest of the HLP-ers fare

24.  that was better than i thought it would be, since i already know i'm a bit red/green colorblind.

I got 7!

[Scotty]

Got a 37.  Little disappointed, but also not surprised.

I suppose a lot depends on monitor used for this test too. A good quality, calibrated monitor will obviously pick up slight changes in hue better than crappy uncalibrated monitor.

181. Hooly crap I'm horrible.

ninja'd. Anyways got a 20 on a CRT... Will try it out again when my brand-new LED screen comes after a week.

This is evil. I know only 16 colors, it makes women crazy when they ask me about clothes color. They walk in in 3 models, i say "red" on all of them and they get mad

Regardless of calibration, most monitors should be able to show enough colors to make the colors used in the test different enough to be viable. The test checks the ability to distinguish differences between colors, even if all of them are shifted and displayed incorrectly - the ones in the test should still have enough difference relative to one another for the test to work. Of course, utter crap monitors aren't an advantage here. But anything above the utter crap mark ought to work.

My laptop's screen isn't that good, so I didn't expect perfect score.

Meh, did better than I thought I did. Especially after the colours seemed to start changing as I looked at them.

I knew I was red/green colour blind, but I didn't think it was this bad!!!!  

EDIT** Have any of you noticed that the highest score for gender and age range is the same for all of us??? 

[Rodo]

8 for me.
Got problems with greens apparently.

[S-99]

My left eye's iris is permanently more open than my right eye's iris (in a nut shell, my left eye sees brighter, my right sees darker). Also my right eye got hit with a 355 fps 0.2gram bb a year ago which makes light a lot more diffused in my right eye than ever before. Let's see if colors **** with me tomorrow.

There were two squares on the right side last color section that I could not for the life of me decide the proper order -- whichever way I put them it looked as if it needed to be swapped the other way. D:  So finally I guessed and got it right.

Kind of wish this test would display a histogram of results for your age/gender, rather than just a max/min which doesn't really tell you anything. :/

I knew I was pretty good with colors, but I'm a bit surprised that I got the entire thing right.  I too had a couple squares that didn't look right to me no matter where I placed them, so some of this was luck.

[Nuke]

i scored a 4

had some small bit of trouble in the turquoise-violet area.
then again its kinda late for me and i was kind of impatient and rushed through it, so i might try again tomorrow when everything isn't blurry.

[BloodEagle]

I got a rock... and twenty points.  Which I don't think is too bad, considering that I just woke up and started doing this.  I probably would have done better doing the test twice, once for each eye, since mine tend to work against each other on colour.

My troubles were in a cooler regions, regardless.

A CRT is better for this sort of thing.
