I could be a sniper

Reading a little about my colorblindness, I read a really interesting tidbit on http://vischeck.com/info/wade.php

On the positive side, there is some evidence that colour-blind people are much better than average at certain jobs. They are very good at finding green things hidden against green backgrounds – for example grass or leaves. They tend to find things by shape and get less confused by camouflage. Because of this, colour-blind entomologists still catch lots of bugs and in wartime, armies prize their colour-blind snipers and spotters. So, if you are colour blind and have trouble picking strawberries, why not try your hand at green beans or peas instead? You might be surprised at how well you do!

What else is really interesting about this site is their image/website check. It will simulate a colorblind person’s experience. 5% of men have this in some form…a population that shouldn’t be forgotten.
