It's colour-blindness that scuppered my chance of being an Army/RAF/Navy pilot. Reds, Blues, Browns and Greens for me, although it's not as bad as some people may think.
As an example, I can tell if something is blue or not it's just differentiating between the shades mainly. I can tell purple from blue but have problems distinguishing between say lilac and blue.

I am exactly like this, what does that mean?

I'm in the same boat and apparently I have red/green colour blindness, which is what those pictures are meant to highlight.
Yeah, the dot tests at the top. You shouldn't be able to see any numbers inside them. People who aren't colourblind will tell you exactly what the number is, but I'm gnna have to wait for someone to enlighten me.
I'm Red/Green colourblind, nothing I can do. Just hope that I dont get tested in any jobs I apply for.

People are working on a solution for normal blindness all the time, the bionic eye prototype already allows people who were previously completley blind to see. If would also cure colourblindness. If/when it has colour sensitive electrodes installed. So I doubt it's going to be that long.
i don't think that they'd be allowed to would they?
and if they did, they couldn't discriminate against you if you were.
Red/green colourblind here too, but you don't really notice unless you're heavily into art/graphics design with very similar shades. Done a few dot tests in my time, remember one of them being back at school and most of my classmates were amazed at me not being able to see the numbers lol 
Army, Navy, RAF, Airlines, Forensic Scientists, certain police roles.. All of them have areas that require people without colourblindness for certain reasons.
I'm an identical twin, well mirror twin actually, I'm right handed and right footed and my bruv is left, left 
We're both colour blind (red, greens and brown) we just find it hard to distinguish between certain shades, I have a book which contains lots of the circles you see on the top of the link it has numbers and start and finish points that myself and my brother can see but people with normal vision can't
What makes me lol is when people first find out they point at the grass outside and say what colour does that look like to you then, or point to a blue sky and ask the same
I'm colour blind not stupid I say

I'm colourblind, but them images are crap, theres an obvious difference to me anyway, it depends if you've trained your eyes if your colourblind or not because if something looks red to you, you have to look at it in a different way because it could be brown
