Job application requiring emotion recognition from AI generated facial expressions

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 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.
