Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled "push" for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this "disability" wouldn't be detrimental?

“pulling the same door labeled push”

In this instance, it’s usually a basic design problem. If you have to label a door “push” because some idiot put a handle on it that you’d instinctively pull on instead of a simple push plate that’s impossible to grab, that’s not the user’s issue.
