    USMS Color Vision Test

    I know there are threads on this topic already but I could not find an answer to my particular question in any of them.

    Does anyone who has gone through the pipeline to becoming a Deputy Marshal know what color vision test they administer during the medical examination. Is it just the Ishihara plate test (circle of dots where you must identify the number within the circle) or is it a combination of tests for color vision?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I'm not a USM or LEO. This form for US Marshal Court Security officer has this::

    "Testing MUST be done with Ishihara (or comparable) Pseudo-Isochromatic Plates. A MINIMUM OF FOURTEEN PLATES must be reported."

    That is correct. The one with the colored dots in a circle is the one I took during my medical exam.
