Yeah, I don't doubt that there are scientific methods to confirm this, I was interested specifically in how the parent commenter knew (maybe she was tested). I mean there are people who see things that aren't there too... I guess HN didn't appreciate my question. :-/

I did not think it was an unreasonable question. The article also mentions that quite a few of the people who thought they had this ability were unable to demonstrate it through this sort of test. As a certain percentage of the population think they have a given disease when they do not, I would not be surprised if a certain percentage, on hearing about tetrachromacy, would think they have it for less than rigorously sound reasons.
