Prior to the inception of the Nexus 9 replicant line, replicants were embedded with memories copied from real persons. This dangerous practice gave replicants the ability to blend into human populations undetected. To combat this infiltration, the Voight-Kampf test was adapted to discover whether a subject was a replicant.

These prompts are to be administered in such a way to elicit an emotional response from the subject. Usually, this is done with a somewhat impatient or adversarial tone. The order of the prompts do not matter, but one does have to administer enough prompts to reach a high degree of certainty and reduce, as much as possible, the possibilities of false positives and false negatives. Usually a replicant can be identified within 20 to 30 prompts¹⁾. The responses are open-ended and there are no “wrong” responses, even non-responses or responses that evade the question are useful inputs to the test. However, aberrant emotional responses provide evidence of replicant memory engramation.

Say: “Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention.”
