voigt-kampff
  13

Is it the name of a test mentioned in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip Kindred Dick, 1968). In fiction, it was developed to check the lack of empathy in androids trying to pass for humans, as that would be the only noticeable difference. It is a mixture of Turing test with polygraph that andis hunters (organic androids) use to distinguish and eliminate them. The surnames are fictional, and in the novel refer to the creator of the Voigt scale and Lurie Kampf, who perfected it. See Voight-Kampf.
