In the 1982 Blade Runner film (often referred to as the original or 1997 director's cut/improved versions), the test used to identify replicants is called the Voight-Kampff test. This fictional test is designed to distinguish replicants from humans by eliciting emotional responses that replicants supposedly cannot have. It measures physiological responses such as pupillary motion and reaction time to emotionally provocative questions, assessing empathy, which replicants lack or have diminished compared to humans.
