So what this is really measuring is the percentage of students who try to get out of taking the test by turning off most of the lights in their room and telling the teacher the computer wouldn't let them take the test. I would love to hear what the company that designed the test has to say about its performance. I doubt it failed to recognize faces when they tested it in proper lighting as just detecting that a face is present is extremely easy for a computer to do.
