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
New Zealand Police
