Of course, the test means shit unless your monitor is accurately calibrated. :attitude: :nerd:

Not really true, seeing as you're comparing them to each other on the screen, you're not trying to guess hex codes, or anything.

Bugger i guess when i had a one inch thorn stab me right through the eye when i was 11 it really did do some damage :( Still have a notch missing from my iris from where it went in, always have opticians thinking i have a cataract forming when they first look at my left eye.

Interesting fact of the day, did you know that the human eye rotates really slowly (over a period of years that is) i have tracked the notch from the 2 o'clock position around fully and then a bit more to 3 o'clock.

Perfect color vision here, although I would disagree and say I have perfect colour vision...

It's the earth tilting on its axis, you appear to have a gyroscopic eye.

I am genuinely surprised by this, I think it might be broken.

Monitor is a netbook jobbie, and it looks different depending on the angle of viewing!

I have done this before, cannot remember my score from then though...

I do think if I was to have done this in 4 sittings then I would have got a higher score, as towards the end I think I was getting a little bored.

Just as interesting would be the time it took to do the test, I would imagine. Getting 0 is all well and good, but agonising over every choice might not be that useful a skill :D

This is quite a good thing considering you've just wired up your bosses's private jacuzzi.

I would image some colour quality of the monitor must play some part in the test and might explain the slight difference in scores.... well I would think that... doesn't mean I'm right.
