The Law Is A Ass #460: Those “For Life” Sentences Are Nonsense
February 24, 2022
I scored an 8.
I got a 7
I scored 291. Not bad for a color blind guy.
I scored about a 30. I have no idea how good that is. At then end it had a screen for comparing your score to others, but all that had was the high and low scores for people my age. That's not useful.It's a neat test, though. When I first looked at it I thought it was like a hardcore version of an eye exam.
Damn. I scored a 15. Since each of my eyes sees colors differently (there's a slight hue divergence; one eye sees things more sharply, skewed to the blue, the other sees things more warmly, skewed to the red), I was trying to double-eye it; looking with one eye only, then the other. Had I not been going for speed, I think I would have realized that a triple-eye look would have been better: Just one eye, then both, then just the other.
I score a 94. Oh the shame of 8-bit color eyes!
I scored a 14. I thought that was pretty good.
I scored a 84.
I got a zero! No, really. Gimme those crayons – Marvel, here I come!
I scored a 10. Not too bad!
I scored a perfect 0. Then again, I think I better have.
Way to go Marc!
27. I think I'll stick to words.
I got 153. Since I was told the highest score for my age/gender group was 1520, I'm guessing that's not very good.
I scored a 78 – but I think I'm going to blame my crappy monitor
I scored a 7. Doesn't seem too bad.
I scored a 4. I'm pretty impressed.
Nice work to all of you who got zeroes. I got a 7. Better than I expected.Very interesting link, Glenn.
I got 127. And I'm color blind. ): But that's bullshit; I'm coloring comics and I dare anyone try and stop me. =P
You wouldn't be the first color-blind comic artist to color comics. Howard Chaykin might be the all-time champ in that regard.
My color vision is 0 (perfect)! That makes me happy because I am a colorist! If anyone needs a colorist plz contact me. I am looking for work! Based on your information, below is how your score compares to those of others with similar demographic information. * Your score: 0 * Gender: Male * Age range: 20-29 * Best score for your gender and age range: -4 * Highest score for your gender and age range: 15200 ( Perfect )99 ( High )
I got a 4! Not bad, I guess. hehehehe. I'm a 30 years old female colorist :)
I got a 20. I suspect that, under better conditions (including using a monitor that's not ten years old and bought second-hand for $50), i might have done better.But maybe not. I'm bookmarking it for whan i *do* manage to get a better monitor.
* Your score: 4 * Male, 40-49 Second try: first try was a 45. Experience helps?
