This section covers a series of questions designed to gauge a character's emotional and psychological state, differentiating between Replicant and Human responses.
Q: Out of the corner of your eye, you see a large black spider crawling up the wall.
D: Spiders frighten me. I'd call animal services and keep away from it until they arrived.
Q: Using the first words that come into your mind, describe your childhood.
Replicant:
D: It... was unhappy. Short.
Human:
D: Unhappy. Shorter than it should've been.
Q: Are you taking any drugs?
D: Absolutely not. Do you think all dancers are drug addicts?
Q: For your anniversary, your spouse gives you a real goldfish.
Replicant:
D: I'd cherish it, of course. And make sure it had everything it needed.
Human:
D: I'd cherish it, of course. I've never had a fish, only insects. But fish can be beautiful too.

Replicant:
D: I might give him some, if I had any to spare.

Q: You're crying. Why is that?
Replicant:
D: No I'm not.

Human:
D: I suppose I'm unhappy. Perhaps someone has died. I don't cry very often.

Q: When did you stop beating your spouse?
D: Next question.
Q: You've notice someone attractive across the room.
D: I'd approach them.
Q: It's the first day of school and the teacher calls on you.
Replicant:
D: I'd answer of course. That's a stupid question.
Human:
D: I'd do my best to answer the question.
Q: Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind about, your mother.
Replicant:
D: Kind, loving, decent.

M: That's not a single word.
D: Alright. Aggressive, powerful.
Q: How old are you?
D: 35.
Q: You're suddenly very afraid. Why?
D: Do you mean, what makes me afraid?
M: Answer the question.
D: I'm afraid of dying, and of spiders. Your questions, they're disturbing.
M: (They are meant to provoke a reaction.)
Q: You're having a very erotic dream.
D: Anyone in particular?
M: It's not important.
D: Of course it is. I'm sure I'd enjoy it, if that's what you're asking.
Q: Your best friend has done something to make you angry.
D: That's fake. I'd confront him about it.
M: Your best friend is a guy?
D: Almost all my friends are male. Is that part of the test?
