I got a Zero!

I took the online test and got a zero, which is supposedly better, meaning that I have no trouble discerning colors. I did not think that the test was hard. In fact, I thought the differences among all the squares were really obvious. I guess this means that I have to be more conscious about other's inability to see what I can see, especially if I'm trying to communicate through color.

After taking the online Color, IQ test I scored a 2. I’m actually not too surprised that my score was two, because as I was taking the test, the blues and the greens were tricky to my eyes, and I took the longest when trying to get the hues to the right gradient with those colors.

After taking the test, I got a score of 0. I thought the test was easy as I was able to differentiate between the colored gradients of each row. I didn't find it challenging but the hue I had the most trouble with was the blue hue. While the easier hues were the purple and green hues.

I got a score of 2. I didn’t think it was necessarily challenging but I’m also older and have noticed changes in my vision the last two years so I’m not surprised I didn’t get a perfect score. I really am ok with it as accepting limitations is part of getting older as well as letting go of not being perfect in everything. It was kind of fun to do.

When I read photographers should have skills in perceiving difference in color hues and temperatures, I was a little worried I wouldn't get 0 even though I am a photographer. The overall test was easy, the blue and green through me off a little bit for a good minute but I ended up getting 0 after all.

I am actually surprised I got a zero. I kept double checking and I felt like the blue hue was the most challenging for me.

In my test I scored a zero. I didnt have too much trouble since I also do alot of art we learned heavy about the color wheel and color theory. Im glad me being an artist also helps with my photography.

Hi class,

I received a 0 which I am not surprised by. I have been working with color wheels for a long time, I mainly trust my instincts when it comes to things like this and to not overthink it. Professor Mayo mentioned playing hue and it’s one of my favorite games, I also have a hue board game I play with my friends.

Thank you, Lilianna Bryant.

The color sorting was easier then I initially anticipated. I had more trouble with the pinks and purples than anything else.

I got a score of 2, I thought the layer with the yellow and reddish colors were the most difficult, I thought the purple and pink on the bottom were easiest. I mostly saw differences with colors that were right next to each other and I was able to order them in comparison to other colors.
