Isn't a color-blindness test on a computer monitor subject to computer monitor differences?

Doesn't matter, I flunk the real life ones too.

On this test above, going left to right top to bottom:

1. 25, clear as a bell.
2. Pretty much random dots.
3. 45 I think - but I couldn't swear to it.
4. 56.
5. Random dots
6. Thought it was a 6, but after looking closer I see that it is an 8.

The last test at the bottom I see a 2.
The test conclusively shows that you're legally dead, jim.

But thanks for moderating from beyond the grave.

Jim is a force of nature. I've no doubt he could do just that if he put his mind to it.

Moderate from beyond? I could definitely do it.

5? Are you sure it's not a 2?

Yes, I can see the 5 if I look at it for a few seconds. A slightly mishappen 8 or a 2 is the first thing pops to mind, though.

I doubt the test's validity a bit is all I'm saying. Not that it's supposed to be the be all end all of color blindness tests.
What other tests have you done? Ishihara isn't flawless, but it's pretty widely recognized as the industry standard for color blindness testing. You could actually have a red/green color distinction issue, and have just never known it until now.

I think you are like me... a real mild colorblindness for Red/Green.
