Computerized analysis of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test.

The method proposed by Farnsworth for scoring the 100-Hue test is reviewed, and measures of the orientation and strength of the error axis are proposed. The error axis and its magnitude are determined by the phase and amplitude, respectively, of the best-fit sinusoid to the function that results from Kitahara's transformation of the subject's arrangement of the colors. In addition, a computer program, written in BASIC, that scores the 100-Hue test according to those methods is described, and a listing of that program is provided in the Appendix.
