A method is described for identifying polarity in Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test data. The method is facilitated by the use of a micro-computer and involves the plotting of "averaged" scores for each cap of the test. Results are presented for 30 protanopes, 30 deuteranopes, 1 tritanope and 2 typical rod monochromats. Analysis of the results shows that the proposed technique is compatible with standard methods of interpreting 100-Hue plots and is suitable to use when error scores are high and when polarity is difficult to interpret.

D003117	Color Vision Defects	Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.
