i am so color blind, it ain’t right. i hate it, i argue with people nonstop about what color it really is. i’m a female with colorblindness, rare and usually unhead of. people look at me different and ask can you see this color and point to something, i have to say i can see it, what color is it to you though? cuz i don’t wanna make a fool of myself… like usual.

You should be aware that those “color blindness” tests were done away with.
I used to drive school buses and those “tests” were part of a D.O.T. (dept. of transportation) required physical.
The problem that was discovered is that they were not a true test of color blindness and much as they were a pattern recognition test. It came out that there wasn’t a problem seeing the colors or determining what the colors were.
The problem was one of perceiving and distinguishing the numbers within the patterns.
So even non-color blind people (such as myself) could not clearly see the number patterns.

It is hard to not be able to see the world like everyone else, i just wish i could be normal like most people but i cant, because i am colorblind, i need help but no one can help because i am colorblind, it is very hard to cope with my disorder, i cant even tell what the color of these words i am writing, if you dont have this disorder YOU have no idea how hard it is, so stop crying about your life and start crying about mine because i am colorblind.

And it is a physical problem of the eyes. It is not a psychological problem or it would be treatable. It is a physiological problem.

Confusing red and green of traffic lights? Whoever wrote this must not have a color DEFICIENCY. Color BLINDNESS means you see the world in Black and White, which is extremely rare.

Anybody who is red/green colorblind will tell you that it’s not the position of the stoplights that tells them they are red green or yellow. It’s the color of the light being vivid red, vivid green, and yellow.

My source? I’ve had a red/green color deficit for 24 years… aka my entire life.

People who do not have a color deficiency shouldn’t try to explain it to people who do not, because you will NEVER see the world as a color deficient person sees it, therefore you will never be able to explain to somebody your crappy crackpot information.

I am very colorblind and it has always been an interesting thing to people who discover it. First question (always) “What color is this?” and then point at an article of clothing. Most people assume it means I see black and white…not so. Here is a website that explains deeper and helps people with full color vission “see” with color defect. colorvisiontesting.com/
I am an artistic person and it often hinders me and I need the assistance of another person; also when I learned to drive I had to memorize the order of the stop lights. My brother is also colorblind and could not be a pilot as he wished, however, he was a top Master Sgt. in the Air force. By no means is it a handicap…it just makes things interesting.

I think I got all those, but it would be nice if there were answers somewhere so I could check (and feel smug lol)

It would be helpful if there was a key. I noticed a couple that appear to be to distinguish between different types of colorblindness … or possibly to remove some frustration from the testee, since people who are colorblind might see a figure, but not the same figure that non-colorblind people would see. The lower left one in the square of four figures near the top, for example, might appear to be an L if you have a particular type of colorblindness, but an E if you do not. Also, the lower left one in the set of six circular figures (just above the two large circular ones at the bottom) has a pretty obvious (to me) 71, but on closer inspection that 1 is really a 4.

Finally, if that second-from-the-bottom one is supposed to be a letter or number, I must be colorblind in some way. What I do see is a kind of serpentine reddish-orange path, with some blue-green “shortcuts” across a couple of the loops. (Also, the serpentine path appears to have a small interruption at the top center.)
