Only about 8 to 9 percent of people in the U.S. are color blind, with men making up most of that number. Some people think "color blind" means seeing only in greyscale, but in fact, most of these folks are red-green or blue-yellow color blind, meaning it's hard to distinguish between these hues. If someone has ever commented that your clothes don't match or laughed when you identified a color they didn't see, you might be color blind (or maybe they are!).

Ever tested your ability to see color? For people with color blindness, some of letters and numbers hidden in these images will be difficult or impossible to see. Try your hand at our color blindness quiz and find out if you're one of this exclusive group. Of course, this test is just for fun and you should see an optometrist if you're concerned, but in the meantime - click on!

Quiz WriterJoselyn, Heywise Staff

Joselyn wasn’t too keen on multiple choice in high school. She vividly remembers the first biology exam she passed by only the skin of her teeth, which dragged her overall average down into the embarrassingly low 90s (she doesn’t want to talk about it). After swearing off any high school or university courses that required multiple choice tests, Joselyn managed to get an English degree by sweet-talking her professors into offering only essay-style exams. Needless to say, this did not exactly endear her to her peers. This rocky start smoothed out in time, though, and after tumbling down a black quiz hole one day while putting off job hunting, Joselyn realized her hatred of all things a-b-or-c had faded and she actually enjoyed dreaming up new ideas for questions and dangerously correct-sounding answers. You won’t find her quizzes an easy ride, but Joselyn just wants to make sure you’re really testing your knowledge.

How to Play?

Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)

So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
