Permutation 7

Positive color = ≥50 (pos) and ≤ 5 (neg)

 

Negative color = ≥50 (neg) and ≤ 5 (pos)

Negative color = ≥50 (neg) and ≤ 10 (pos)

  1. In Permutation 1 a color was defined as positive if 20% or more of individuals regarded it as positive and 5% or less regarded it as negative. Similarly, a color was regarded as negative if 20% or more of individuals regarded it as negative and 5% or less of individuals regarded it as positive. Subsequent permutations used varying degrees of positivity and negativity.
