Patterns were analyzed to identify who was really sick. The report also adds that vocal rhythms of human speech were analyzed to detect the presence of a cold in people.
Because a person with a cold can present an irregular pattern of these vocal rhythms. Based on this data, the researchers used AI algorithms to analyze the differences in each individual's modulations, in order to detect who actually had a cold.
The Economist further reported that test takers had to count from 1 to 40, followed by a description of what they did over the weekend. They were then asked to recite Aesop's fable entitled The North Wind and the Sun.
