Help
I am told this takes most people 5 attempts to get right. It took me 2 to get my brain to do what I wanted it to do instead of what it wanted to do and another 2 to get enough speed. but then I am not a very disciplined thinker and so I expect many here will beat this with ease.

I think that the test was poorly drafted. They should have thrown in the odd curveball in which the colour coincided with the word.

Hmm, I got 88% on this first try, which is pretty good for someone who can't actually distinguish red from green (red/green color blind).

Got 100% on the second try. It's probably a rather healthy excercise, forcing your brain to think with the side you want it to.

Same here, I guess we got the same one wrong then.
My partner suggests I'm red/white colorblind too.

Agree, i did notice that my reaction time was initially 2-3 seconds and then after a few clicks dropped to instant. The right strategy is to stop yourself from reading the word.

Just blur your eyes a little, and luckily the cursor lights up the same color so you don't even need to refocus in order to answer.

So if I understand you both, you shouldn't take this test unless you are drunk?

yes the coloring at the bottom really makes it a wtp
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

wow I am also partly colorblind, I had to guess 50% on the red/brown one.
0% first time because I didn't understand the problem well clicked randomly the last 5 or 6 (pretty unlucky)
100% second.

Ditto, and I didn't even notice the bottom words were colored. The only one that caused me to do a double take was the red/brown one. But then I've seen the Stroop test before and one of my bridge partners has a t-shirt with around 40 such words on it.

I have always been unable to read those things.
But the most amazing thing was when I went to ophthalmologician (or whoever it is called). And he tried me on a simple test, put me a red/blue glasses upon my eyes and started a spotlight machine or alike. asking me what I saw on the wall.
I could see completelly clearly a blue rectangle and so I said. He looked at me, and said, are you sure?. Of course I am sure, a big fat blue rectangle.
Ok he said, try closing your left eye.
And the blue rectangle dissapeared, but a perfect big red circle appeared. That was scary for a moment. In the end it happens that I just gather info from one eye normally, discarding the other eye's data.

I don't get it?
edit: Oh this is one of those things colorblind people cant read but other people can... and I figured out what it said because it's on the heading of the link. Pretty funny.
