If you can see any letters in this picture, then you probably are.

Wait... Didn't God design the eye the same way for all of us?

Gjallarhorn · Jul 14, 2014

Nope.

savagewind · Jul 14, 2014

I want to but I can not. All I see are dots and starfish.

YmirGF · Jul 14, 2014

Other than the amusing dancing chimps, I don't see anything unusual.

ChristineES · Jul 14, 2014

I tried but nope, I see no letters.

Sir Doom · Jul 14, 2014

I see the letter "o" a whole bunch of times.

Riverwolf · Jul 14, 2014

I can kind of distinguish a slight difference of color in the first circle, but the contrast isn't enough to make out an identifiable letter. I can't tell if any differences of color in the other two are actually different, or optical illusions on my part.

EDIT: from the article: Unfortunately, for half the population, it seems in order to lay claim to such super color vision you need to have two X chromosomes. Yeah, that kind of explains it. ^_^

I win:

ametist · Jul 14, 2014

I see heart in red and dna spiral in yellow

MD · Jul 14, 2014

I see stars in all of them and several patterns. No letters.

A test like this might not be as accurate with a computer monitor. One would need to be doing it with a printed sheet of paper to control for calibration idiosyncrasies, I think.

Valjean · Jul 14, 2014

Vague patterns, no letters.

BSM1 · Jul 14, 2014

It's a sailboat.

Valjean · Jul 14, 2014

Methinks it is like a weasel....

Reptillian · Jul 14, 2014

My female friend probably could. I was helping her decide what colors to paint her living room and kitchen the other day. "It's all egg white or ivory white...coffee mousse or taupe." I can't see the difference between azure snow or meadow green.

StarryNightshade · Jul 14, 2014

I don't see any letters. I guess I'm not as special as I thought. :sad4:

The Sum of Awe · Jul 15, 2014

Nope. Now this is the second thing I really want but do not have, right under ASMR.

BSM1 · Jul 15, 2014

I just showed the circles to my wife without giving her any context. She, with no hesitation, said there was an 'O' in the red, an 'E' in the yellow, and a 'P or B' in the green. She is a scary lady.

Sleeppy · Jul 15, 2014

I'm pretty near blind.. I can't say I expected to see much.
