Color Acuity Testing - fun if you are bored waiting for a flight

This one is a bit more difficult than the Xrite free one, and sadly I can only get a 7. I think I need better monitors, I am sure it is not my age.

Score 7
Age 50-59
Male

OK, this is intriguing.

I am at work, on a very old bad monitor, so I hope that explains why often there would be 3 cubes that looked identical. I'll be sure to give this a look when i get home.

(if it's the monitor, wishing I still had the FW500 to test it on)

Based on your information, below is how your score compares to those of others with similar demographic information.

Your score: 24
Gender: Male
Age range: 50-59
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 378079

My wife scored a twenty, my teen scored a four, and my pre teen scored a ten. It was pretty funny.

As soon as the boys get in bed I'm going to give this a shot, if for no other reason than just to post a lower age group.

I did this on my calibrated laptop and got a 4, woohooo... The other monitors were work-issued, standard Dell desktop LCDs. One small area in the aquas where I messed up. My dad has terrible color blindness, he can't see many colors at all. I am glad I didn't inherit that.

Score: 4. My errors were also in the aqua section. Monitor not calibrated.

I knew I would do bad....
My wife got a 14

Score: 98
Gender: Male
Age Range: 50-59

I scored an 8, but somehow close to perfect for my age on the bar graph - not sure how that works.

I found that, the longer I worked with it, and as I jumped from one colour bar to another, my colour perception seemed to improve.

Despite getting a good score using this test, I am pretty lousy at identifying single colours - is that green, blue or jade?

Mrs Wife is always mocking my 'colour blindness'. Cow.

One tactic I used was to look away occasionally to give the retinal cells a rest so that afterimages wouldn't interfere.

score: 888
[edit - I probably should have shuffled some blocks eh?]

TS, wondering about the xrite test you mentioned? This is the same test I have done from them, and of course colormunki is made by xrite. I love nerding out on these things.

btw, I have a 150-200 dollar Samsung that I got off the shelf at the local office supply store, xrite calibrated but not for probably close to a year.

The xrite's free version is a very stripped down version, almost kid like. It is just a portal to get you to buy their industry test tool, I think.

Very easy to get a 0 on that one.

Just did it on my work PC, and hit a perfect score. Monitors matter, as do paper and ink types. This is a good example of how we all talk about color fidelity in our photos, but it is silly because between what we use to view them and our own color acuity, there is no right answer.

I get better with age! Last time I did this, in April 2016 (although 'Xrite' rather than 'Munsell' at the time) I scored '4' consistently

Doing this more difficult test, I'm now scoring '0'

Some of these results include a negative score for comparison. How would one get that?

I wondered about that myself. I can only assume that there is an age weighted computation of range of scores, with assumption that an age range (like 15-60) which uses score '0' as the basis for
'best' in age range. Then the age handicap computation wrongly distorts that zero to the negative number equivalent 'best'. Note the higher numbers at the low scoring end of the range, too.
