I brought him to the cinema and he could see the 3D effect. We have tested a few times and he could tell the difference, so yes colorblind can enjoy 3D movies.

Rejecting a job candidate for failing an Ishihara is stone-age madness. It could be justified at the time of war, when rough-and-ready decisions needed to be made, but not now, when accurate diagnostic methods are available. The algorithm goes as follows (normally): Step 1: You pass Ishihara test -> job done Step 2: You fail Ishihara -> you must be tested Now, you will perhaps be amused to know (but don't make any conclusions until you are properly tested) that truly colour-blind persons are rather more sensitive to patterns than the normal ones. Camouflage is a classical example. During WW2, colour-blind field observers scored so well that the recruiters were given special orders to look for the colour blind civilians to fill just that role. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,772387,00.html Rick, if you want that job, locate the superior authority and appeal.

It never affected my duties and i'm curious to know why it's a disqualifier. I can actually pick up and detect movement very well and see persons in camoflague, hiding, with no problem.
