Capuchin Test is a visual game in which color deficiencies are tested.
Sure there are many Moron Tests out there and getting a high score is a
learning process. The Capuchin Test is different and practically no reading
other than glyphs. Homer Simpson sound tracks are used where appropriate.
You can post your FaceBook wall with your score.
The Capuchin Test is designed to clearly prevent you from
learning the finger motions to answer questions correctly. You must pay attention
to the visuals. There is no practice-makes-perfect exercise to see what you
physically cannot see so this game can be quite entertaining with your friends
who may not see what you see.
The University of Calgary primatologist department found that color blind capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica are better at detecting camouflaged insects. Color blind capuchins made nearly 20 insect-capture attempts per hour, compared with only 16 for those with normal color vision. You might remember that the Capuchin monkey was used in the "Night At the Museum" (2006) movie.
So if you’are a monkey, trying to survive, you're way ahead of your colleagues if you are color blind. Put that in their face.
Are you Capuchin?
Color deficient recognition or Color blindness is not a disability.
Color blind people are better at penetrating certain camouflages. However, it
can be very frustrating for individuals affected by it or at least entertaining
for you at their expense. Color deficiency is not an all or none diagnosis for being
labeled color blind.
There are three main types of color vision deficiency:
The terms protan, deutan, and tritan are Greek and translate to first, second, and
third and sound quite technical and then add the suffix “opia” and you have a description.
Strongly color deficient people might only be able to tell about 20 hues apart from each other, with normal color vision this number is more than 100 different hues. About 40% of males are some level of color blind.
