While this test might reveal things about the analytic skills of the subjects, my revised test is designed to focus on not just a logical analysis of how well questions are answered, but the "feel" of a conversation with a real, creative, thinking being. I find this test interesting because while we might readily conclude than an AI that can solve problems we can't solve is intelligent, it will take more to convince the public that it's not a "soulless machine." That will take people falling in love with AIs (as people often fall in love over just the phone) and more. Not just questions.

The Turing test has been criticised for being too much about human-like intelligence. "We don't judge an airplane by whether we can't tell it from a bird." And indeed, there will be areas of intelligence for which the TT is useless. But at convincing the public to give the beings human rights, it will go farther.
