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.
