I knew that would happen and it still scared the shit out of me.

PS, is there a name for internet tests like these? Where something scary happens when you least expect it (even though, after awhile, you DO expect it?)

The generic term I've heard is "jack-in-the-box".

Call me a curmudgeon; while it didn't scare me, I resent the waste of time and not knowing if the evaluation of what normal and color-blind viewers see in the tests is accurate.

curmudgeon
it tells you what each one is and you can tell what the green/red. etc. ones are
if there are more than those basic ones, i've never seen them
but then, i'm not gray green color blind, or otherwise

Useless information:

My old doctor was colourblind and, when he conducted colourblindness tests, based his judgement on how confident the person was in answering, because he had no idea of what the right answers was.

And I suppose you like cilantro, too.

I haven't taken the test, but in honor of 'bang, 'pup and bunnyfire, I think I'd like to nominate 'cilantro' as MeCha's first unique swear word.

Cilantro's great.

posted by orthogonality 05 October | 07:52

Second Frisbee Girl's motion, glares balefully at the cilantro fiend in the room.

God dammit that scared the shit out of me! I thought I was colorblind because of that last one!

posted by Specklet 05 October | 13:42

I passed.

What?

I was in #mofirc while skimming MeCha, and the conversation went something like:

Me: Hey, lookit this colourblindness test, I'm doing it right now. It looks pretty cool.
Everyone else: Oh, okay...
Me: OH MY GOD
Me: WHAT THE HELL
Me: I mean, that was a great test. DO IT.
Everyone else: OH MY GOD
