Have you had problems identifiying the colour bands on resistors?
I've had no problems identifying colours even some of the finer shades. I find this quite strange because, apparrently I'm colourblind. I suffer from deuteranomaly, my green receptors are shifted to a slightly longer wavelength so something that looks yellow to you might appear slightly greenish to me.
Can anyone not identify the numbers in the spots on this website?
Interestingly for me it depends on how I view them. I can't identify the bottem left one on my TFT monitor (and the some of the others are hard to identify), but I can identify them all perfectly on a CRT or when printed on my work's top-notch laser printer and then it depended on whetether I viewed them under daylight or flourescent lighting. The one at the very bottom of the page looks like an eight, when the text says it should look like a two to a colourblind person. I know it just isn't the monitor because, my mother, father and sister all have normal colour vision and they can see them all even on the TFT monitor.
I've known about this for awhile but I've only investegated it recently when I was Googling for something and I read an article on colourblindness. I'm now concerned that I might not be able to get some jobs becuase they might test my colour vision as has been the experiance of some of the people on the Internet. The annoying thing is I have never had a problem with colours because I'm only very mildly colour defficient and according to Wikipedia some colour blind individuals are better at penetrating color camouflage. I don't know why, perhaps we compensate for it, or maybe I might be better at distinguishing between blue and green as my green receptors are a slighly longer wavelengh so the the difference between these colours might be more distinct.
Is anyone else here colourblind, if so is it a problem and have they had a problem getting a job because of it?
