Here's another little test, which is very relevant to our hobby. Does our perception of colours change as we age? Find out.......

I made 18 but had to pick a colour at times as what I wanted was not a choice, so like most of these quizzes more guesses than anything.

re: What Is Your Age Based On How You See Colors?

I believe a "perfect" score is 18 which would somewhat correspond to when we are close to finished growing and theoretically at our developed newest state as human beings but I am SURE this can and will be argued! Laughing

re: What Is Your Age Based On How You See Colors?

Interestingly my wife chose several different answers than I when she took this yet came out with the identical score. I noticed in particular that her color choices tended to the most pink, most blue, etc. whereas I consistently chose the intermediate color version. So perhaps there is a psychological factor as well as a physiological factor represented in the scores. It is a fun test with interesting implications.

re: What Is Your Age Based On How You See Colors?

After taking the color eye test I decided to take several other similar tests. I took two different IQ tests and got 142 on each one, coincidence? It was 143 when I was 18, as it was the few other times I've taken them over the years. I'm sure I lost a lot of brain cells on the way but will accept it anyways. Also took another 5 various tests and got a 100% on all of them. I find it all hard to accept but feel somewhat empowered by the results Thumbs Up .

re: What Is Your Age Based On How You See Colors?

I took the test! At 53, it says my eyes are those of a 25-year old. Here is what else it said:

Your colors perception is extremely detailed.
When you look at a certain picture, place, or object, you don't get lost in the overall vision. Instead, you start with examining all the small details. You look at the blind spots, the color shades, and the movement of the objects. That helps you focus on the overall situation, in order to plan your actions accordingly.
