Colour Blindness

Thomas Holmes made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

The request was partially successful.

From: Thomas Holmes

Dear New Zealand Police,

I noticed on the New Cops website that for applicants "Colour vision shall initially be assessed with the Ishihara Test, if an applicant fails this, further assessment and a diagnostic colour perception test is required".

Therefore, I request the following information:
1. The name of the further tests used to diagnose colour perception if the applicant fails the Ishihara Test; and
2. The percentage of applicants that have initially failed the Ishihara Test over the last 3 years and then go on to pass further tests; and
3. The percentage of applicants that have initially failed the Ishihara Test over the last 3 years and then go on to fail further tests.

As required by the Official Information Act I am a New Zealand citizen and currently residing in New Zealand.

Yours faithfully,

Thomas Holmes
