Abstract
This paper discusses whether defective colour vision affects the type of personality of an individual. Three pieces of research are examined. Pickford and Cobb found a positive relationship between colour vision defect and 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 last two studies can be explained by the assumption that the effects of colour vision defect on personality do not occur until later in life. If this postulation is correct it should be possible to find effects on school achievement that are consistent with the factors that are moulding personality in a colour defective person. This paper looks at some evidence that seems to confirm this.
