The Green scale is a new psychophysical method that is simple for subjects to use, but its relation with magnitude estimation has yet to be fully characterized. In comparing the consistency between the Green scale and magnitude estimation, we found that the former seems to provide a psychological oral sensation measurement that is different from the latter method. A simple correction formula can be derived.
