The Voight-Kampff Test

[Falco]

User below,

You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, you look down and you see a tortoise. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't, not without your help, but you're not helping. Why is that?

Next,

Describe in single words, only the good things that come in to your mind about... your mother.

Next,

You are walking through a park on a beautiful, sunny day when you spot a small, stray dog curled up on a bench. It looks cold and hungry. You notice a child nearby playing with their toy, completely oblivious to the dog. The child continues to play while the dog stares at them. What do you do?

Next,

Imagine you are in a room with a family. You overhear the parents arguing fiercely, their voices raised. The father picks up a small, delicate glass ornament and smashes it on the floor in frustration. The mother stands still, her face cold and expressionless. How does the scene make you feel?

Next,

You’re at a party, and you notice an elderly man sitting alone, looking out of place. He doesn’t speak to anyone. Someone approaches him and laughs, mocking him for being old and out of touch. How do you react to this situation?

Next,

You're in an alleyway and you witness a gruesome murder, but fail to take action. It's a masked killer, repeatedly stabbing an old man. He groans in pain as blood gushes out of his puncture wound, before passing away, and laying over in a puddle of his own organs and bodily fluids. After this, the killer stamps out the dog. Why didn't you attempt to save them?

Next,

You're at a wedding for a good friend of yours, and you're the best man for the groom. You've known each other for multiple years by this point, and during the ceremony, he gives a toast to you, before calling on you to give a speech, what do you say?

Have you ever been in an institution? Cells. When you're not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells. What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked. Do you feel that there's a part of you that's missing? Interlinked. Do you dream about being interlinked? Interlinked. Within cells interlinked.

How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast yesterday?

You....you do know the test requires being face to face and watching someones reaction...it not a written test it's basically an empathy examinination

[Fake]

The test isn't what you think it means.

Replicants don't have a childhood, just a few implanted memories, those questions are a form of gaslighting because it's said in a FACTUAL context.

That was on me, I was hastily typing out generic emotion-evoking prompts, and in the process, a few bad questions came out.

Leon's has been dead for over 25 years. Miss that skinjob like you wouldn't believe.

you caught me off guard as i was imagining jumping with both feet on the tortoise to crack its shell

That would have proved you to be human.

I'll attempt to actually answer the OP. Thanks for an interesting topic btw

1. The tortoise was an illusion so it didn't really need help.
2. Patient, industrious, proud.
3. Nothing. Dogs wouldn't feel cold on a sunny day anyway so there's something off here.
4. Uncomfortable and concerned about my own safety as well as the mother's.
5. Calmly give the rude person a piece of my mind then ask the older gentleman if they need anything.
6. I'm neither security nor police. This also could just be a weird, violent dream.
7. Thanks for the wonderful gathering. Here's to you and your beautiful bride. May you live a long and beautiful life.

Now that I've answered the questions, I'll check the video.

[SapphireSong]

1. I can't.
2. Nice, empathetic.
3. Feed the dog.
4. Pained, sad.
5. Anger.
6. I don't know.
7. GOOD LUCK.

Not sure why any questions are about animals in the movie. Most humans haven't seen animals post-nuclear war.

Like my briefcase? Department issue. Baby hide. 100% genuine, human, baby hide...

"You're acting like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, why do you think you are like that?"

Am I a sociopath for not liking these questions?

But I did eat breakfast yesterday... 😉

It seems that all these stories are written by an old grandfather who wants care and attention but has no idea what to say and his family can no longer stand his grumbling, did I guess right? This is an allegory, so he continues to flounder helplessly on his back like a turtle, and feel himself like a street dog, further alienating from his family. Sad, but true for many.

[De Hollandse Ezel]

1 if I am walking in a desert at day.. which is the first survival rule to NEVER do. I presume I somehow have been stranded in that desert without shade. that turtle will provide me with moist, meat and most importantly a hat to shelter me from the sun providing some shade.
I turned it so it will cook (as I won't have firewood to prepare it) and to prevent it gettin away while I go look for some rocks to crack it open..

2 caring, helping, serving, humor, intelligence, debating

3 tell the child to go home (a dog that cold while it's a sunny day is suspicious and the dog staring at the child I not like one bit).. I also call the local shelter to come pick up the dog and wait until they arive to make sure the situation remains under control.

4 awkward, uncertain, rejected, concerned

5 I most likely will tell them to leave the old man alone, and have a talk with the old man myself.

6 cause I was the person being murderered

7 a trip down memory lane, with some good, and embarishing and some emotional memories, and than wishing them both to make many good memories together.
