onoway Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I am told this takes most people 5 attempts to get right. It took me 2 to get my brain to do what I wanted it to do instead of what it wanted to do and another 2 to get enough speed. but then I am not a very disciplined thinker and so I expect many here will beat this with ease.http://www.humorsphere.com/fun/8787/colortest.swf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think that the test was poorly drafted. They should have thrown in the odd curveball in which the colour coincided with the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hmm, I got 88% on this first try, which is pretty good for someone who can't actually distinguish red from green (red/green color blind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 88% in 3. 50% in the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_R__E_G Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Got 100% on the second try. It's probably a rather healthy excercise, forcing your brain to think with the side you want it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerben42 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hmm, I got 88% on this first try, which is pretty good for someone who can't actually distinguish red from green (red/green color blind). Same here, I guess we got the same one wrong then. My partner suggests I'm red/white colorblind too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 100% first try. WTP Agree, i did notice that my reaction time was initially 2-3 seconds and then after a few clicks dropped to instant. The right strategy is to stop yourself from reading the word.

rbforster Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 The right strategy is to stop yourself from reading the word. Just blur your eyes a little, and luckily the cursor lights up the same color so you don't even need to refocus in order to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I understand you both, you shouldn't take this test unless you are drunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 yes the coloring at the bottom really makes it a wtp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattieShoe Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 38% first time100% second time Also red/green colorblind, but not totally. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 wow I am also partly colorblind, I had to guess 50% on the red/brown one. 0% first time because I didn't understand the problem well clicked randomly the last 5 or 6 (pretty unlucky)100% second.

Mbodell Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 100% first try. WTP Ditto, and I didn't even notice the bottom words were colored. The only one that caused me to do a double take was the red/brown one. But then I've seen the Stroop test before and one of my bridge partners has a t-shirt with around 40 such words on it.

Fluffy Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have always been unable to read those things. But the most amazing thing was when I went to ophthalmologician (or whoever it is called). And he tried me on a simple test, put me a red/blue glasses upon my eyes and started a spotlight machine or alike. asking me what I saw on the wall. I could see completelly clearly a blue rectangle and so I said. He looked at me, and said, are you sure?. Of course I am sure, a big fat blue rectangle. Ok he said, try closing your left eye. And the blue rectangle dissapeared, but a perfect big red circle appeared. That was scary for a moment. In the end it happens that I just gather info from one eye normally, discarding the other eye's data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
