Nothing as subtle as an Ishihara Test at Granada Rentals.
Remids me of the eye test given at school in the '70s. "What is on the last line?", I replied "Made in Britain by Goblin Instruments", I read that walking past the test to get to the right position. Back to the trade, I went for an interview at Pye Unicam where my colour vision was tested by showing me various resistors and asking what the colours were. I found that quite hard as I was so used to looking at a resistor and knowing the value like reading a word, so I had to translate the value back to colours.
