I don't know anything about this subject matter, but this article seems like a hoax to me. It reads as follows:

The Mooney Face Test was developed by Brian Brown and his colleagues, and published in the early years of the new millennium in a piece titled "Strength In the Face of 'The Face'.” In the test, participants are shown low-information two-tone pictures of the Face, that gradually get clearer and more repulsive, and are asked to remain calm and seated. They are then asked to endure a phantasmagoria of Mooney features being bombarded towards them in the fashion of the Willy Wonka ride. Though facial recognition occurs mainly in the right hemisphere of the brain, the test is really more a measure of nerves, gag reflexes and sheer human will in the face of unendurable odds. The test was discontinued after 100% of trial participants were all rendered blind, and/or autistic. The face used is that of Stephen E. Mooney and was first discovered terrorizing girls and destroying party atmospheres on 48th street, Sea Isle City New Jersey. An image of this mongoloid are far too graphic to be displayed on this website, and it is not recommended that readers follow up with further investigation.

When I looked elsewhere for information, the information I found seemed to follow more in the lines of what was previously on this page instead of the current version. Someone who is knowledgeable on this topic should verify and change it.
