Let me start off this with a message from a visitor which prompted this post:
I took your test, knowing already that I was colorblind. I would like to pass on how I explain to people what it is like. I liken it to reading a foreign language. You can make out certain words, and perhaps make out what is trying to be said, but since you do not read it, you cannot fully understand what is being said.
Of the six questions, I only got 2 correct, 1 and 4. Being red/green colorblind, and now 40, I have learned to deal with this in my own way. I see bright colors better than dark, and I am used to asking what a color is, even a stranger.

I took this because although i can pass these tests 100% i still have intermittent colourblindness which seems to confuse blue/green,my doctor thinks i'm making this up and therfore i find help difficult to get any help.

If I had only passed the 1st test, what kind of color blindness do I have? Is there really no way to correct this difficulty with colors? Thanks, now I'm reminded that I am colorblind...cheers!!!

I knew someone who is also a color blind, after he undergo a
colorblind therapy for only 4 days, he claimed he can read and had passed the Ishihara test. Is it possible?

I'm no expert but I never heard of a cure for colorblindness or the idea of "colorblind therapy".

I got only the first one right (16.67% on the test). I knew I was color blind at the age of 12. But never knew that it is so severe. I know that is no cure for color blindness. Wish there are some glasses designed to get 100% on the test. Cheers...

Back in Third Grade I thought grass looked red -- it still does! I'm a writer (investment education)and would like to write a book about my life expereiences (interesting/funny) as a colorblind person. Do you have any stories to share? If so, send to PO Box 4929, Eagle, CO 81631

I didn't know I was color blind until I was playing baseball in a practice field where they spray painted where the bases should of been in a bright pink. I could see it but it didn't stick out. I had to look hard for it. Later on driving confirmed it with having trouble with light colors. Now of coure I know the order and am fine. I find I have good days and bad days with it. I don't ever have normal vision but somedays it is easier to distinguish colors than others. Anyone else have that? Maybe kind of what George is talking about but his is less severe?

[at]George, I have also sometimes hard to distinguish Green/Blue.
I passed colour tests in school, even tought I had really hard time for some variants.
I have really hard time to see anything for the second test here at TJs, as first it just looks like random "lines" in the dots. Then if I look really hard i can barley see the number 6.

Tip: If you have Ubuntu, with properly setup graphicscard drivers ( it asks you to "activate" it at first boot-up ) you can Just press Super+M or Super+N to activate colourfiltering, it can help out a lot, especially if you're tired and some mofo uses a wierd coloursheme at their site. ( Super is the key which can look like a penguin, fish or flag )

I have been diagnosed as red/green colour blind, have taken the test which confirms this. I find this weird because I don't see myself as colour blind, I feel I can see brown and green, so I don't really understand. I have a problem with colours other than primary colours and don't know the difference.
