6 The figures suggest the second trial produces themore important score. Some test-retest unreliabilityis to be expected and would be eliminated bydiscarding the first score. If the norms of thesecond trial alone are used, the followingconditions must be met: Everyone must be given the second test The first test must be taken as seriously asthe second Test and retest should be separated by aperiod of hours or days While total error scores represent the colordiscrimination of the individual at that time, theydon t show that Color discrimination ability may notimprove over time as a result of training andexperience. Individuals that are familiar with the test generallyshow no difference in score with a ComparisonThe test-retest reliabilities shown in the table are taken from routine tests ofapplicants for promotion in a paint factory. Retests were usually takenwithin a few days of the first pattern of Color defectiveness is identified by bi-polarity, aclustering of maximum errors in two regions which are nearlyopposite.

7 The regions where the errors are made can be usedto identify the type of Color Defective Color VisionExamples of Color defects: Protans are weak in red Color discrimination. Deutans are weak in green Color discrimination. Tritans are weak in blue Color discrimination.
