Munsell Hue Test
Posted by Alex Dent • June 14, 2010 • Games

Mondays may be a relief for workaholics, but most of us are trying to disguise the fact that we either didn’t have time to shower this morning or that we’re still drunk from last night. So while you’re pretending to work, why not exercise your visual acuity?

I found online versions of the Munsell Hue Test posted a few different places, but either place you take the test, it’s not as easy as it looks. The game involves putting lines of colored tiles in spectral order. The distinction between tiles is harder for some than others, especially if your rods and cones are still sleeping.  But if you can prevail against eye fatigue, hereditary eye disease and the watchful eyes of bosses… then maybe your week is looking up.

-Alex.

3. Wow, I got 0. Perfect color vision. Good to know, I joke about subjectively seeing different colors than other people see. But on a relative scale I have no problem distinguishing hue! Awesome. I had to take out my contacts to do this though, they were really getting in the way.

8. I got a 4. I think this thing is more a test of one’s patience than anything.

10. I took this many years ago when I first found it, in like 2006, and I got a perfect score – and I just took it again – sill perfect! YES! ;D

11. my score? uh… well… um… a lot. Let’s just say it’s a number somewhere between the number of moons that the earth has and the number of moons that Saturn has.
