The X-Rite Color Challenge
I tried to reblog this from somebody else, but instead the page refreshed and the post was lost.
The X-Rite Color Challenge quiz by Pantone is a much simpler, more casual version of a genuine diagnostic color perception test. I took it and got a 0, the perfect score. It's interesting; give it a shot. There's no obnoxious signup or e-mail required.
I found that I was not able to directly discern the order of the gradations, but that I could easily spot discrepancies when one or more tiles was out of order. My confidence mode was "If it doesn't look wrong, it's right." That turned out to carry me all the way to 0!
The aquamarine-to-lavender spectrum (No. 3) was the hardest for me to resolve color breadth on, when the spectrum was still in its disorganized form, so even though I sorted it perfectly this probably represents the region of the spectrum where my discernment is lowest.
I took my time on this; probably spent around 5 minutes on it. If I'd gone faster I would definitely have made mistakes, because I did a lot of A/B testing to verify that many of my null reads were in fact the absences of errors.
The results page notes:
Did you know that your score on this test is influenced by the lighting around you, the background colors at your desk area, your level of tiredness, your gender, and even your age?
For me, it is early in my day (so I am well-rested), dark outside, the background behind my computer is black (an inactive monitor screen), and there is moderate-low room lighting in the "warm" temperature range.
According to their results, the "worst score for my gender" is "696969696," while the "best score for my gender" is "-696969696." Lol...
