 Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:11 pm Post subject: Colour Blindness Test? |
 |
|
Hi guys,
As a prospective TEFLer, I have just recently been looking up the various hoops one needs to jump to gain a Visa. One of those is, of course, the health check.
All is fine and dandy except, on one report I read, it said that a fairly complex colour blindness test was required of them to complete.
I must say I am hopelessly colour blind. Not to the point of being canine, but distinguishing between close colours (especially in a test-esque environment) would be nightmarish and virtually impossible to succeed in.
Is this likely to be a stumbling block? Seems pretty ludicrous if it is...
As always, any help is much appreciated. |

non issue unless you are trying for a driver's license.

Even then, they'll likely only ask if you are and not actually test you.
You'll be fine. |

As a severely colorblind person and one who got a Korea driver's license, let me quote the doctor at the testing center:

| I was given a color blindness test as part of my AR health check, just a couple of weeks ago. |

I'm also colorblind and have a Korean driver's license. When I did the health check for the driving test, I just told the doctor that I wouldn't be able to read the numbers so he sat me down on a chair and had a machine with a light that changed from red to amber to green, he cycled through them a few times and all I had to do was say what the color was.
As for the health check for your ARC, again I just told the doctor that I was colorblind and she made a note and moved on with the next test. No problems. |
