Your Life Analysis:

Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score leaves room for improvement. You can make changes to improve your trouble areas, and this will bring you greater satisfaction. Focus on your weakest points and set about to change them. Do not delay your happiness and success.

Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind’s clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is within a healthy zone. This means you have achieved a level of mental balance and harmony consistent with living a healthy, happy life. Continue doing what works, and keep your focus. In our fast-paced world, mental clutter is all too common. Be vigilant in maintaining healthy mental function.

Body: Your body rating measures your body’s health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. You have a rather good body score, which is an indication that you take care of yourself. There is room for improvement, however. Please keep doing what works. Eat right, exercise, reduce your stress, treat any illness. Doing these things will help ensure your body will be in good working order for a long time to come.

Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score leaves room for improvement. Consider making a concerted effort to redefine your attitudes and focus your beliefs. Boosting your spirit will lead to greater life satisfaction. Read advice from other quiz-takers on improving the spirit.

Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. You scored at the very low end for friends and family. This means that your social network is weak and not functioning. Consider re-establishing old bonds as you work on forging new ones. You will be greatly rewarded in return.

Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life’s most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is in good shape, meaning that things are going well. Do all you can to maintain it, and continue to grow and move ahead.

Finance: Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability. Your finances are somewhat in the middle, neither bad or exceptional. Keep doing what works for you, and improve what doesn’t. Focus on long-term financial stability as your goal.

听刺猬讲故事(二)—— Colour blind

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

Telegraph上看到这篇文章,因为有个好朋友好像有这方面的顾虑。所以把全文翻译过来:

对色弱(色盲?)人士的测试发现,他们能够看到的颜色种类与正常视力者同样丰富。

科学家对于“红绿色盲”,也就是最常见的影响6%男性的色盲进行了调查,发现对于二战时期的一种观点的支持,他们更擅长戳穿伪装。

虽然“红绿色盲”患者对于识别红色、橙色、黄色和绿色的差别方面能力很差(比如一些色盲患者不能看出这张图中的数字56),但是却加强了对一些不常见的色彩的感知能力。

这个发现发表在《现代生物学》这本学术期刊上面,由剑桥大学的John Mollon,Jennt Bosten和Jo Robinson以及Newcastle Upon Tyne大学的Gabriele Jordan共同完成。

研究人员对绿色色弱者和“正常人”进行对比研究,要求他们对于成对的颜色的差别程度进行识别,而这些成对的颜色对于色弱者来说差别很大,但是对于辨色能力的“正常人”差别很小。

研究数据表明色弱者生活在“多维颜色”的世界中,而这个世界不是正常辨色能力者能够达到的。

对于“正常人”,研究人员说:“看着那些色弱的人们对于那些看起来一样的颜色刺激,他们能给与如此大的差别评价而没有半点犹豫,这是多么令人震惊的事情”,Mollon教授说,在一定程度上,我们都是色弱者,表面的颜色只是表现了无穷尽的反射光谱。

但是我们的色视觉单单取决于我们视网膜上三种类型的感光细胞(sensor)。与众不同的人也有这三种圆锥细胞,但是其中之一可能从光谱的正常位置进行了一点位移,使得它获得非常高的敏感度。

PS.学术的说完了,要说的就是,好朋友,我一再让你辨认粉色系的颜色,发现你对他们的敏感很弱,但是你对蓝色系或者灰色系的敏感度还很高。这个世界真是无奇不有,每一个人都是独一无二!
