I was wondering in colour vision testing with Ishihara, how many plates can you get wrong before the colour vision is classed as abnormal?
For the 38 plate edition, 13 or less correct answers constitutes a fail, with 17 or more out of the 21 being a pass. 14 – 16 correct answers means the test is inconclusive and retesting by another method should occur. Remember, there are the abbreviated and concise versions and these will have different pass/fail criteria. The answers given are the opinion of the individual examiner or tutor.
