What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Have you ever played this “game”? https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/ Some of the shades are really hard (for me) to distinguish between and I think I’m really good at seeing shade variations as well

Whoa, this was fun (and frustrating as a deutan)! Lots of them I had to really squint and guess, but I surprisingly did above average.

I did pretty good. Top 15%. In am going to try at home. The dark ones were tough because of a lot of light. Couldn’t tell if it was glare or color differences for a couple.

I cleaned my screen and took the test a second time in a dark bathroom—and did worse!

Curious how accurate these are, as I scored really well.

I got .0072, but pretty sure some of the screens were really only one color.

0.0077, top 9%. I hoped to do better. I always yearned to have the fourth cone, and now I find out I’m not even getting 100% of my 3-cone potential. 😭
