Rogueunh,
Sorry about not responding to your PM recently. I apparently did not have the required number of posts to respond privately. Yes I finally did get hired. Took a bunch of time and a lucky break.

The one I took in San Antonio was 3" red, yellow, green squares on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of white paper. The "test" was to say the location and name of the color, e.g., "red, upper right".

Thanks for the help guys. Now I feel much more comfortable to pass the color test. I sent an email to my recuriter, and he said he has to double check for the color blind thing and will get back to me on Monday.

I am from the state of GA. Now with the DOT test there is nothing about being color blind. BUT when I have to get my CDL From the dmv They do test it there.
