It did take me a little while to work out that the left and right edges were pinned, and my drag-and-drop didn't do what I intended more than once. But... then you're being tested (unintentionally) on the ability to discern that too, I guess?
This is not unusual. Perhaps the difficulties of you and the other ancestor commenters in discriminating colors (and other visual phenomena), have made you compensate by becoming better at these tasks than average (and better than the test expects you to be), maybe by recognizing and amplifying other visual cues.
There's plenty of examples of people respond to adversity/different-ability level in a domain by deliberately developing super competence. Childhood asthma sufferers who became competition swimmers, is one.
Note for those who have not read the article (this was confusing to me): 0 is the highest possible score. Just saying "done" from the starting configuration got me a 66 (so that's a score showing you don't see any differences).
It's unusable. For some reason only the last row seems to reliably drop anything where you intend to (I expect invisible elements obscuring events).
As someone who has implemented actually good, lightweight, MVC agnostic, keyboard accessible internal dragndrop library - I think dragndrop needs to die - for most purposes it really doesn't add much as an input method. For instance this activity could easily be implemented with buttons while still being intuitive.
I used my index finger on my Android phone with Firefox and it worked perfectly. Maybe drag and drop doesn't work as nicely with a mouse or a touchpad. After all we pick things up all the time with our hands, less often with tools. Mostly forks and spoons or chopsticks?
Yeah, in Firefox, I can't seem to drag anything leftwards to the first two columns (third and onwards does work), I have to move those first two columns out to the right instead and shuffle them around...
About 6 weeks ago I got a lens implant to replace a cataract-ravaged lens in my dominant eye. One of the first things I noticed after surgery was that the color temperature of that eye cooled noticeabley. My other eye has a less advanced cataract and of course the lens has yellowed. I found some of the rows easier with one eye versus the other. Fun test!
I got a 36. But I've known for 25 years that I'm colorblind. In some of these tests, if I really stare, I can improve my results slightly. But I definitely have poor ability to discriminate those shades.
On the other hand, last I checked, about 15 years ago, I had better than perfect acuity (I think I've lost some of that, though). Ya win some, ya lose some.
Got a zero on a phone screen almost minimum brightness. Dragging sucked and confused me a bunchcause I'd try to move something and it wouldn't move. But my mother was a photoshop and color grading expert for hallmark for a couple decades so it's probably somewhat genetic advantage
It does work best on a well calibrated screen. I can get 0 on a good desktop display, but on this phone with the brightness down and colour temp adjusted to match the ambient light I got a 4, and I can see that those sections of the colour wheel are getting crushed by the screen adjustment.
I got 0, which was somewhat surprising because I struggle with some other colorblindness tests, like the dot circles. I think my colorblindness is on the milder side, but I was still expecting to get a few wrong on this one.
I see quite a large jump between the left hand 5 boxes and the right hand 5 boxes... Is this an artifact of the screen or some rounding issue in displaying with 8 bit colors?
That's the point, it's randomised (except for the first and last blocks) so it shows how perceptive you are colour-wise. Maybe you're actually struggling with colour and should see a specialist if you can't really differentiate them (after ensuring that the screen is not the one having a fault).
What's the point in seeing a specialist if you suspect your color vision is crap? As far as I know, the vast majority is genetics and there's no treatments.
