title: Evidence for an effect by colour defect on personality.
abstract: This paper discusses whether defective colour vision affects the type of personality of the individual. Three pieces of recent research are examined. Pickford and Cobb (1974) found a positive relation between colour defect and type of personality when they tested a sample of students in psychology. However, two later studies of school children did not demonstrate such a relationship. It is postulated that the contradiction in results between the first and the last two studies can be explained by the assumption that the effects of colour defect on the personality do not occur until later in life.
