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.

    It has become standard practice for many groups who handle recruitment these days - I had employers doing this over 10 years ago but with a bit of research on what they are looking for it is easy to fool the system.

    It is actually quite a useful skill to posess if you have to work with other people as there are all sorts of issues and office politics on the go that benefit from when you can read how people are reacting.

    I looked on it as just another technical skill to learn for the role.
