i’ve seen this test before, and it isn’t supposed to be this hard to see.
i’m pretty sure the discoloration from the bad lighting made it a lot harder than it was supposed to be.
Your eyes are just receptors they just collect images which are sent to to the brain and then decode there. Psych 101 gives an overview of both the psychology of how your mind works and the physiology of how your brain works. After all this class, besides being required in almost all colleges, is a spring board for both psychology (emotional) and psychiatry (medical)
nope. The number is 29. Watching Greenbay Vs. The 49ers must be confusing…
..
Oh, and FSU plays Miami this weekend. That will be exhausting for you to watch.
More color blind than you thought. Or, maybe the camera and your screen are making the colors closer than they should be, and so you really are just slightly color blind. Anyway, it’s a 29, not a 15.
Either you’ve misunderstood this FAIL or you’re just kidding – the post isn’t talking about “colorblind FAIL”, so no one is trying to remind you anything at all.

Not this one though, it’s too simple. Get one of those ones that looks like someone threw a bunch of random paint cans through the engine of a 747 until someone smacks you in the back of the head with a paint can and you can finally see Jesus.
I read somewhere that cheap LCDs only give you about 10 bits of color depth, no matter what your video card sends it. I can’t see a bloody thing in there, but I wonder if it would be any different if I was looking at a CRT.
(Of course, I *am* colorblind, so I might not see anything even then.)
actually….the reason it says 15 even though the number is 29 is because a color blind person would write the answer 15 down instead of the real answer…it is designed to catch liars
If you see number 15 in the dot pattern, your color vision is probably normal. You should, however, go back to elementary school to learn your numbers…
I say it’s a win, given the context of a psychology book, under the assumption the author’s just trying to screw with the reader. After all, what is colorblind doing in a psych book? Its relation is peripheral at best.
The colour skew of the camera, compression artefacts, plus your own monitor makes these results highly unreliable. These tests are meant to be seen directly with your own eyes, not through several layers of electronic processing.
I mean, obviously, the white balance is way off. When you’re testing colour vision that sort of thing matters.
Maybe it was supposed to say “If you see the number 15 in the dot pattern, your color vision AND MIND are probably normal.” Hence, if you see a 29, it means you’re just crazy.
wait, I’m pretty sure I took this exact test and was diagnosed as partially color blind; having trouble distinguishing between reds and greens. I didn’t read any instructions, just did what the nurse told me to do on each page, but this looks exactly like that test booklet. Ugh… Should always read the instruction first.
Psychology : Core Concepts by Philip Zimbardo 6th edition
ISBN 9780205547883
Forgot what chapter though, i hated that book, thought it was aload of BS.
Your not suppose to try to look for the number. Focus on the middle of the circle and use your peripheral vision to distinguish the number. The reason it’s fail is because in the text it says to look for the number 15. 29 would be the Correct answer for you non-colorbling folks.
I guess my color vision “probably,” isn’t normal, because I don’t see a damn 15. That is most definitely a 29.
Also, why would this be in a psychology textbook? Isn’t seeing color more of a physical response, not psychological? I’m pretty sure if you’re color blind, that doesn’t mean you have psychological problems…
Excellent
I didn’t see it at first, though. Maybe somebody should have highlighted it or something
Im color blind. Can someone tell me what the dot pattern is showing?
29
Sorry, I had to rate this awful because I’m color blind
THank you for telling, I am also colorblind
Now that you say it. I can just barely make out a 29.
They have to make it hard. If it was easy, the colorblind people would be able to make it out a bit as well.
i’ve seen this test before, and it isn’t supposed to be this hard to see.
i’m pretty sure the discoloration from the bad lighting made it a lot harder than it was supposed to be.
I suspect Loler simply doesn’t fully understand how being colorblind actually works.
You may be a little bit color blind, because i saw it immediately. Its not hard at all.
where?!?!?
- hate being color blind xD
haha it blows doesn’t it.
*headdesk*
Why? He couldn’t see it :-/
How many people had already answered that in the comments just a little bit down the page?
29? Or is it 15?
Don’t make me glower at you!
*stern look*
It does say ‘probably’
Maybe it’s psyching us out? Testing the human response to something we think is false yet an authoritative source says is true. Maybe it really is 15?
Oh no! All I see is spots. I have rabbititus!
Check your tongue! Is it coated?
*Squeezes*
*Throws a fit*
*stipple late*
No, this is the Ishihara test, not the Milgram test.
Swing and a miss…you’re thinking of Asch (Milgram’s experiment was on obedience).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments
Or the test was invented by Big Brother…
Eeep!
*hides under desk*
*evil laugh*
sorry man, I just can not get over it…. LOL
You avatar is a bird!
your avatar is a bird! LOL
o_o Didn`t this happen just a few fails ago?
Where’s the fail here? It’s a 15 in the picture.
You’re kidding right??
Why would I? YOU ARE ALL COLORBLIND !
Not me!
Me neither. Kyur, you are either really stupid or being sarcastic.
A picture of Christ.
I didn’t know color blindness fell into the realm of psychology.
Maybe eyes have brains too…?
these perceptiony things get more complicated the more you look into them – and ears get way more complicated than eyes.
Your eyes are just receptors they just collect images which are sent to to the brain and then decode there. Psych 101 gives an overview of both the psychology of how your mind works and the physiology of how your brain works. After all this class, besides being required in almost all colleges, is a spring board for both psychology (emotional) and psychiatry (medical)
So when was the last time you run someone over with you truck?
29, 15, close enough.
lololol
I see 29 to.
To what?
Don’t leave us hanging like that!
LOL
Why would I hang you? That wouldn’t be right. I don’t even have a gallows.
Math is just an opinion anyway.
There’s an ongoing war proving just that over on Teacher Fail.
It’s almost amusing. Almost.
Is that still going on? Five hours on. It must be a proper war, then.
It started yesterday.
The teacher related fails tend to start wars it seems.
Last I checked it had over 600 replies. That’s usually an entire day of fails around here these days.
There are at least twenty comments in there about how to properly spell the singular possessive tense(?) of my name. It’s unreal.
Yeah, I moved on after I read about that dispute.
That’s just dumb. Any idiot can tell that the proper singular possessive spelling of your name is dfw4trg’s`.
The 4 is silent.
and your avatar was and is still a bird! LOL
Amazing and amusing. hmm.. you’re right – ‘almost’.
well i am colorblind.. but i can usually blur my eyes enough to see whatever these tests are talking about..
and im guessing the fail is that there IS no number at all.. or im more color blind then i thought.
There’s a number in there, but it’s 29 not 15.
If you can see the number 15 in that circle, you should probably lay off the LSD.
Hmmm, looks like I need to set up the shot glasses….
*nods*
Hit me babe!
What’s your poison?
*Also requests a shot*
Lets see if memory serves…
It does, but I can’t spell it.
Perhaps my next brew will experiment with adding more syrup at each racking to make it more along the lines of a port wine.
I will take a kamakazi and keep ‘em coming. I am almost done creating a color for the blind of the colors.
*slides a kamakazi Leila’s way while trying to make sense of what she just said*
Let me know when you find out what I meant to say. I am totally curious now.
*plugs nose and drinks K in one gulp*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!
Any of you under 18?
*hauls ass*
FLY AWAY AVIS!!!! FLY!!!!!!!!!!
BRING THAT BACK HERE!
I totally would have transposed the syllables.
During my “Knight in Chiming Armor” phase, I considered naming him “Glen,” any question would have resulted in “Aye Sir Glen.”
Ah, that helps!
Also, Acer is latin for Maple.
Any of you drinking illegally?
Considering that I’m talking about having enough motivation to brew my own wines, perhaps that could be a good indicator…?
Not to mention the patience required to brew your own wine.
I miss Nellie.
*takes two shots in honor of WN*
*squeezies Gracie*
Still see 29. Better take another hit off the beer bong.
Sorry, you indeed are colorblind. The number is 57.
youre more colorblind than you thought, the number is 29 not 15
nope. The number is 29. Watching Greenbay Vs. The 49ers must be confusing…
..
Oh, and FSU plays Miami this weekend. That will be exhausting for you to watch.
More color blind than you thought. Or, maybe the camera and your screen are making the colors closer than they should be, and so you really are just slightly color blind. Anyway, it’s a 29, not a 15.
get a colored monitor you know…
seems like an IQ test
If your IQ is 29 or 15, it’s worse tha colorblindness
OH NOES!!!!! I can’t see the 15!
You are screwed. Sorry.
Oh, there it is just above the 9.
*Phew*
This one was hard…
HEY!!! Stop staring at my chest. Textbook is over there!!!
color blindness is not psychology. Failblog fail
But seeing the number 15 in there might be.
LMAO! that explains it all.
Actually, all introductory psychology textbooks have a chapter on sensation and perception, in which colorblindness is covered.
most intro to psychology classes covers common senory anomalies
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_psychology
Crap! My eyes are more screwed up than I thought.
Eh, who want to be “normal” anyway? And “normal” by who’s standards?!
Who’s standards? As in Doctor Who? I don’t know about his normal as he doesn’t live a normal life anyway.
ha ha IQ is good
ha ha IQ is good…
yep… seriously i just figured out that red and green are my blind colors..
It’s supposed to say 15, because especially the color-blind children cheat otherwise to appear normal.
Yep, I’m colorblind.
I can’t see the number in there at all. Thanks for reminding me Failblog.
Either you’ve misunderstood this FAIL or you’re just kidding – the post isn’t talking about “colorblind FAIL”, so no one is trying to remind you anything at all.
if you can’t see there’s a 15 in that picture then you’re definitely colorblind, or perhaps totally blind
or totally retarded
Colorblind or not, if you see a 15 in that picture, then you’re either easily suggestible or delusional.
iirc this is a double-test, as if you see 15 you have a partial colour-blindness.
But seriously, Failblog should’ve noted that it actually says 29.
Unless they couldn’t tell
The fact that it says 29 and not 15 is EXACTLY why it is on Failblog.
*tries to NOT headesk repeatedly*
From a graphics point of view, I’ve always wanted one of those dot patterns in a poster size, to hang on the wall. They’re really quite lovely.
Not this one though, it’s too simple. Get one of those ones that looks like someone threw a bunch of random paint cans through the engine of a 747 until someone smacks you in the back of the head with a paint can and you can finally see Jesus.

POUNCE!

Heh…you’re getting a lot closer than I am today. I haven’t come across Dragon’s posts any sooner than 20 minutes late.
*squeeze*
Thanks, Gracie!

*fleeswithnotmuchofaquickness*
Actually, this is exactly the type of dot pattern “picture” I would want. Because of the simplicity. It’s sort of elegant.
should be 15, unless they wanna see 81…
its larger.
26 wut i see rite /?.
now that I read the comments, i see the 29, at first it was either a twisted pretzel or a heart
I didnt mind being coloured blind, but now I can’t understand jokes?! D: that sucks!
Inability to distinguish between psychology and optometry….FAIL
Try reading the comments before you add your own.
its obliviously it is written in ultraviolet light. sillys
I can’t see anything! I must be color blind….
I read somewhere that cheap LCDs only give you about 10 bits of color depth, no matter what your video card sends it. I can’t see a bloody thing in there, but I wonder if it would be any different if I was looking at a CRT.
(Of course, I *am* colorblind, so I might not see anything even then.)
Damn! I’m colorblind
Touche’ Avis, you win this round, you smug car renting bastard.
*ahem*
That would be “smug care renting b!tch“.
I am not a man.
And I should proof-read before I post mine.
*removes extraneous “e” from above post*
You should also check the definition of bastard. Nothing about the word implies sex (except the sex that your unmarried parents had! Haha!).
(yesyesyes, it CAN be used to imply sex, but doesn’t have to)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Typically it is used to imply gender. When used as an insult at least.
cant see it
tho i know i have colorblindness
the number is obviously 9000
HAL?
Oh mannaggia la miseria!!!!!!!!
*lines thousands of shot glasses filled with various ‘poisons’ for the peeps*
*takes two*
*gulps*
Heeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
*nods*
This one is gonna be a doozy.
Why does quilty up there think we are underage? Furthermore, why should he care?
GASP!!! Dammit! I didn’t even think about that. I am always skittish around authority and that he is not. *glares*
*takes 3 shots*
*Looses count of shots*
*Passes out*
We’re gonna need a bigger bar.
*nods*
Let’s just move it to the beach and we can expand to the sides if need be.
it would of been funny if they printed one that actually didn’t have any number in it so it would make everyone think they are color blind
Well…my vision’s f***ed
Not only that but apparently I’m also schizophrenic ’cause I’m seeing a different number entirely.
actually….the reason it says 15 even though the number is 29 is because a color blind person would write the answer 15 down instead of the real answer…it is designed to catch liars
i think you just powned us all
You know what`s really sad? I had this book for my Intro to Psychology class and I never even noticed this error.
Fail to me!
Has anybody else seen the colorblind test trick from a few years ago?
Ugh, yes. And ever since then I have been afraid to open or do ANYTHING people send me online. Don’t remind me!
lol.
its 29 but you would assume you see 15 if you were color blind
I see an alligator and a potato, but no numbers. Hmm.
You wouldn’t be a vicar by any chance, would you?
No, but apparently I am colorblind.
Really? How many fingers am I holding? Wait…that doesn’t sound right.
Hey! Le’go!
*Squeeze*
*squish!*
Sorry bro!
Halp! I’m being repressed!
What does this have to do with psychology?
This is totally supposed to be this way….
I’m pretty sure the number says over 9000.
immmmmmm blind
If you see number 15 in the dot pattern, your color vision is probably normal. You should, however, go back to elementary school to learn your numbers…
Could it be that we are not looking at figure 7.6?
This picture is useless without a picture of the whole page and a reference to what book it’s from.
29 tweets.
dammit!
I am colorblind too. It’s an epidemic!
Can’t see a darn thing in that mess of dots.
If you see a number *higher* than 15, however, you’re probably a pedophile.
I really do see the number 15. I don’t see 29 though.
my color vision isn’t normal I saw 29
Being partially colorblind, I hate those dot tests. I can’t see the number either.
I’ll bet you’ll find Glenn Beck’s name in the footnotes! “If you see the number 15 then you’re safe from socialists”
Friggin’ colorblindess. I can’t see any number.
Maybe your number’s up.
It’s 15 guys, i’m sorry for you. I hope there is a cure for that.
Have anyone else noticed it says “blue” dots??
I think I’m color blind guys.
If you see 29 you’re blind!
I don’t get it. But I AM colorblind so that’s probably why.
im colorblind

LOL this was in my science textbook.
I say it’s a win, given the context of a psychology book, under the assumption the author’s just trying to screw with the reader. After all, what is colorblind doing in a psych book? Its relation is peripheral at best.
im color blind!!!!!!!11 i see a 29 D:
Wow… I see 29… My vision must be almost twice as good!
I… have that exact same psychology book.
The colour skew of the camera, compression artefacts, plus your own monitor makes these results highly unreliable. These tests are meant to be seen directly with your own eyes, not through several layers of electronic processing.
I mean, obviously, the white balance is way off. When you’re testing colour vision that sort of thing matters.
*takes off killjoy hat*.
I see 69. Right? Right?
well… so everyone is colorblind.
dumb
Wait it says ‘discriminate’ not ‘distinguish’ DOUBLE FAIL
You need a better dictionary.
I don’t think those things are that good. I’m not colourblind, but I can barely see the number.
oo oo oo lemme at it
id say you cant see it if you cant read the number
it’s tanamount to heresy with out the here lol
I can’t see 15 in that picture, that must mean I’m colour blind!! :’(
15! no… wait, yes! oh, actually not sure. Am I colour blind?
Who said that? Show yourself!
I count 752 dots. You’re all dumb!
i see a orgy and the all high
I am colorblind so I am wondering…..does anyone see 25…or 19?
All I see is a tasty pizza
idk about this, but did anybody else notice is said discriminate the colors? i think that may have been the fail. . .
Hahaha, thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t notice. You’re right, though. That’s ANOTHER fail.
I see a 15, what is everyone talking about? Ain’t no 29 here.
Maybe it was supposed to say “If you see the number 15 in the dot pattern, your color vision AND MIND are probably normal.” Hence, if you see a 29, it means you’re just crazy.
I’m not color deaf but I can see a 29
not a 15 wadda ya think that means?
AT
IF YOU SEE 29 YOUR FINE
IF YOU SEE 15 OR NOTHING AT ALL YOUR F#%@ED
Curse my black and white display!!! I knew I should have upgraded it.
I’m not leaving here until I see the sailboat!
I think I had the same textbook when I was in my Psych class…
Oooo, look at all the pretty little dots… *smiles* oh wait, theres a number? Shoot.
Oh, i see the 15, i guess im not color blind…
the fail is that there is no 15.
the number in the picture is 29.
so it’s more like a typo/printing fail.
wait, I’m pretty sure I took this exact test and was diagnosed as partially color blind; having trouble distinguishing between reds and greens. I didn’t read any instructions, just did what the nurse told me to do on each page, but this looks exactly like that test booklet. Ugh… Should always read the instruction first.

why is it fail? it says your vision is fine if it says 15, and it does. I don’t get it.
How in the world… can you see a 15.. and where do you see it? o.o am i the strange one?
How in the world.. can you see a 15.. and where do you see it? o.o am i the strange one?
I mean.. acually i see it in the words.. is that the fail… ahhh i think that might be right.. the 15 is in the description or directions.. hahah
Heh. For the color-blind people, check out https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/efeladnkafmoofnbagdbfaieabmejfcf, it lets you see the 29 in most cases
It’s 29.
I have normal vision
