I predict that that will be followed shortly by a mysterious sharp increase in applicants claiming to have nystagmus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nystagmus), which causes random involuntary eye movements, but without any medical documentation.
What's interesting is this wouldn't necessarily imply cheating. That doesn't sound like an issue I'd necessarily draw attention to under normal circumstances, but if I knew interviewers were likely to be paying close attention to my eye movements I certainly would.
Yes, exactly. I have nystagmus myself because of an underlying medical condition that causes other vision problems and it's depressing that interviewers might think it's reason for suspicion.
I've been a pain in the ass in quite a few feedback sessions when people brought up a candidate not making "enough" eye contact. Usually I mention that they could be treading into infringing on a protected class and they shut up.
