It was found that a stimulus frequency bias can affect forced-choice brightness ranking tests and is sufficient to affect the conclusions drawn. When a stimulus is compared against a range of comparison stimuli and judgements of relative magnitude are sought, the range of comparison stimuli should be selected to enable all possible responses to be given with approximately equal frequency to avoid a stimulus frequency bias.
