Test 1 – Participant sees:
Standard four print colours, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and
Black (CMYK) circles against a neutral colour background = Normal vision
Neutral background only = An extremely low level of susceptibility (probably
abnormal) to the standard colours of marketing
Test 2 – Participant
sees:
Red circle against a neutral background = Normal vision
Neutral background only = An extremely low level of susceptibility (probably
abnormal) to even the most basic forms of marketing
Susceptibility Test 3 – Participant
sees:
Standard four print colours CMYK = Normal vision
Standard four print colours CMYK plus an extra colour circle = A susceptibility
level above normal and a likelihood towards minor impulse buying
Test 4 – Participant
sees:
Neutral background only = Normal vision
Four pastel coloured circles = A susceptibility
above normal and a likelihood towards purchasing in a docile, submissive
state of mind
Test 5 – Participant
sees:
Neutral background only = Normal vision
Three fluorescent coloured
circles = A susceptibility above normal and a likelihood towards quick, impulsive
spending
Test 6 – Participant sees:
Standard four print colours CMYK = Normal
vision
Standard four print colours CMYK plus
an extra four colour circles = A susceptibility way above normal and likelihood
towards major impulsive spending
