I starts as this:
You need to make it look like
If I have a seizure, it’s all your fault. BRB. Maybe. I hope.
I think this test will be rather strongly affected by your monitor. But that being said, I took my time and really looked...
And got an 11.
Got a 12.
This is the first time I ever scored 0 on a test and I liked it.
Based on your information, below is how your score compares to those of others with similar demographic information.

0 ( Perfect )
99 ( High )
I hate you.
colorblind, don’t even want to attempt
Hijack attempt, with apologies. Was just talking, at break, with a Vietnam vet. The real Hue test was in January, 1968:
The biggest Tet battle, Hue:
The Buddhist crisis had left bitter feelings towards the Saigon Government in the ancient Vietnamese capital and, within a few hours of their attack, the disguised insurgents supported by some ten NVA/VC battalions had overrun all of the city except for the headquarters of the ARVN 3rd Division and the garrison of US advisors. The main NVA/VC goal was the Citadel, an ancient imperial palace covering some two square miles with high walls several feet thick. NVA troops assaulted the Citadel and ran up the VC flag on the early morning of January 31st but were unable to displace ARVN holding out in the northeast section. Having overrun the city and found considerable support among sections of Hue’s populace, the NVA/VC began an immediate revolutionary “liberation” program. Thousands of prisoners were set free and thousands of “enemies of the state” — government officials, sympathizers, and Catholics — were rounded up and many were shot out of hand on orders from the security section of the NLF which had sent in its action squad with a prepared hit-list. Most of the others simply vanished.
After Hue was finally recaptured at the end of February South Vietnamese officials sifting through the rubble found mass graves with over 1200 corpses and-sometime later-other mass burials in the provincial area. The total number of bodies unearthed came to around 2500 but the number of civilians estimated as missing after the Hue battle was nearly 6000. Many of the victims found were Catholics who sought sanctuary in a church but were taken out and later shot Others were apparently being marched off for political “re-education” but were shot when American or ARVN units came too close.
The mass graves within Hue itself were largely of those who had been picked up and executed for various “enemy of the people” offenses. There is some doubt that the NVA/VC had planned all these executions beforehand but unquestionably it was the largest communist purge of the war.
US Marines and ARVN drove into the city and, after nearly two days of heavy fighting, secured the bank of the Perfume river opposite the Citadel. Hue was a sacred city to the Vietnamese and apart from the ancient Citadel held many other precious historical buildings. After much deliberation, it was reluctantly decided to shell and bomb NVA/VC positions. Resistance was heavy and sending the Marines into the city without air and artillery support would have meant an unacceptable cost in lives. To many, the battle for Hue reminded them of the bitter street-by-street fighting that occurred during World War lI. The NVA had blown the main bridge across the Perfume River. US forces crossed in a fleet of assault craft under air and artillery cover which blasted away at the enemy-held Citadel. Its walls were so thick that few were killed but the covering fire made the enemy keep their heads down while the Marines and soldiers hit the bank below.
While the ARVN, with US support, fought its way through the streets of Hue block by block, the Marines prepared to assault the Citadel. On February 2Oth American assault teams went in through clouds of tear gas and the burning debris left over from air and artillery attacks. The NVA/VC were pushed into the southwestern corner of the Citadel and finally overwhelmed on February 23rd. Enemy resistance in Hue was finally reduced to isolated pockets and sniper teams. As the Citadel fell, NVA/VC units began retreating — some of them marching groups of soon to be massacred prisoners before them — into the suburbs while their rear guards fought holding actions with the advancing ARVN. The fight for Hue ended by February 25th at a cost of 119 Americans and 363 ARVN dead compared to about sixteen times that number of NVA/VC dead.

You are young? Just a range will do.
Wow.
I see the relationship, but that is a lot for such a tiny chat post...?
I’m red/green color blind and won’t even try. :-) As I see it, everybody else is wrong and I’m right!
>>As I see it, everybody else is wrong and I’m right!
How can you be red/green colorblind? I am pretty sure male colorblindness is white/green.
OK, at least that was what my father had...
I got a 23 on the first attempt, but was able to get it down to 3 after moving a few squares. I seem to have trouble in the green/blue hues.
From what I've been told, there is red/green and blue/yellow color blindness. I have never heard of white/green color blindess.
The patterns here are quite difficult to see. I can see the 25 (or so I think) in the first picture and maybe a 56 in the fifth picture (counting down from the left hand side).
According to the answers at the bottom I got those two right - the bottom right looks like an "S". I can't see the other numbers.
Got a 9...female....age 50-59. Blind as a bat but did the test without my contacts or glasses.
I got a 6. (trouble in the blue/green area)
I knocked it out pretty fast but it never gave me a score - - just a big blank white page.
PING
Sitting here sleep deprived without my glasses, and clicking through quickly, I scored a 32.
