Job application requiring emotion recognition from AI generated facial expressions

Fibonacci Squid

Yes this is after I told them I was autistic (they said they would apply a 'score adjuster' afterwards). Yes it produced the predictable result that I was terrible at it. Here is an example screenshot. 

The job had nothing to do with recognising emotions, it was for a technical role not a people focused one. It just seems ridiculous that they can do this so openly? As I feel like naming and shaming today, this was for a WSP job and the psycometric testing was Arctic Shores. 

 

  • I have done a few of those types of tests but not in the context of employment. I didn’t identify many emotions correctly.

    I would hope their ‘score adjuster’ removes your result for this altogether and ‘adjusts’ the remaining test scores because autistic people aren’t all the same.

  • I did this exact test a couple of years ago for WSP. When I did it there was a disclaimer that apparently this task doesn't disadvantage autistic people. Unsurprisingly I didn't get an interview.

    The game based assessment thing is meant to make the hiring process more fair, but I don't think it is fair at all and it isn't relevant to the actual job.

  • Why isn't "Sean Connery" among the answers? lol

    Anyway, I don't think AI is a good tool to use for generating "emotions" because the stuff AI generates has a lifeless, unemotional quality to it, even if the image is displaying an exaggerated facial expression.
