[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Overmod</i> <br /><br />Yeah, color blindness and visual acuity are two very separate, very unrelated things. I wasn't trying to equate them, just humorously comment on the fact that I'm relatively unable to distingui***he numbers in these tests due to BLUR even though I can distingui***he spot colors just fine. <br /> <br />As pointed out by the examples, R-G blindness is sex-linked, which accounts for the differential between incidence in men and women. It's possible that there are ranges of severity, or differential dysfunction in post-retinal signal processing (as opposed to deficit of some of the cone-cell functions per se), which would produce apparent color-blindness from some of the Ishihara tests while allowing perfectly good resolution of high-intensity red light from green light. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yeah, that seems to be what caught me off guard, I never had the slightest idea that I may have some degree of color blindness until I checked out this test..... <br /> <br />I have never had trouble with traffic lights and passed the test for my drivers license no prob, red, green yellow but I failed this test with (a lack thereof) of flying colors.
