Subject: Color Vision Question

To the list:

An internist who does physicals for our local police dept. had a recent case
where an applicant had a score of 2/24 on a AO Pseudoisochomatic. The
applicant then went and had a 100 Hue done and passed. The internist
insists that the test was administered properly and that the applicant even
used natural sunlight for the pseudo..

Any thoughts as to how this could be accurate or how it could be a variant
that does don confirm normal color discrimination.

Thanks in advance.
