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

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. ^_^

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.

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.

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

What? Me worry?
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.
