Paint chart test

Was it useful?
Yes to a certain extent it does show the hypothesis of the fact that men and women do possess use a different lexicon when it comes to describing colours.
Although it does not exactly prove the entire hypothesis, when done with a larger sample size without the class based setting (which affects the types of responses, especially from the class jokers who don’t give a proper answer), it might possibly turn out to be true.
It is useful in showing us that it matters whether the responses are given in a quiet and alone sort of setting It does show that people do comply with the assumption that there are differences between men and women although to a large degree response, differs largely depending on the individual as well. However, it is not useful in completely proving the hypothesis, but useful in showing that everyone is different.
In conclusion, everyone is unique in his/her own way. You can classify, but at the end people are still individuals. =)
