Yes. Well no, but there are standardized methods. If you think you are color blind, search for color blind tests online, and there's a simple way to figure it out. It basically involves looking at a few pictures.
For instance, for red-green color blindness, they have a bunch of red dots surrounding a bunch of green dots that form a number, for instance a green 74. If you are red-green colorblind, it will all look the same color, because you can't distinguish between the two. If you are partial red-green colorblind, some of them are designed so that partial people can only see a 71, not the full 74 (due to different shades of green in the 4).
[Edit] In response to Jill48:
While this is *a* test, it is not standardized by any means. This is an example of a standardized method, but there are many tests out there that are different but do the same thing. Plus, while this test works, I wouldn't trust geocities as a reputable source of any information.

Actually, there is a standardized test that they have been using for years. Check out this link: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/8833/coloreye.html
