Designers: Think you have a good eye for color? Get proof… | The Caneelian - Leadership, Creativity, Startups, Organizational Culture

How good is your color vision? Arrange these tiles by hue to find your score – http://bit.ly/by7gz8 (based X-Rite’s official FM100 Hue Test).

Brag: I got a perfect score (a zero), which pretty much made my week. Guess the Color Theory class I took in the UC Extension design certificate program a few years ago paid off…. or maybe it was my compulsive color-arranging of clothing, books, and iPhone app icons (practice makes perfect).

Friends who are designers and visual artists seemed to score between 0 and 10. Aesthetically sensitive non-artist friends reported scores between 10 and 25. Share your reactions to the test – and your score if you like – below.

I got a 4 too… though I’m not involved in design or visual arts at all (I do like flower arranging though! Perhaps that counts 🙂 )

Fun! I scored a 4. I would put myself in the “aesthetically sensitive non-artist” category.

Welcome to The Caneelian

Hi, I'm Caneel Joyce, a leadership coach to founders and CEOs who want to change the world. I am the founder of Kickass Enterprises, a coaching and consulting company that helps leaders of venture-backed startups and visionary companies step into their full power, create thriving, iconic cultures, and build world-class businesses. I'm also co-founder of The Trust, a PhD, an ex-professor, a mom of two, a friend of many awesome people, and a former wannabe rockstar.

This is a personal site, where I share ideas and hunches while they’re still forming. My hope is that my little half-ideas can find life out there by combining with yours. I write about leadership, organizational culture, psychology, design, innovation, and the social context of the creative process – and maybe some day help each other create world-changing solutions to meaningful problems big or small.

Surprising things happen when we share. Imperfect as this is I hope this stuff helps somebody out there. No point in keeping ideas to myself. If any of this sparks a reaction I hope you'll reach out to start a conversation or a collaboration.... you never know where it might lead.

Share what you love:
