Another commonly version of the Turing test does not strive to see

whether a computer can be fooled but rather to see whether a computer


can imitate a human. In the standard interpretation variation of a Turing
test, the first person is a computer and the second person is a human of
either sex.

In this variation, the third person attempts to discover which of the first two
people is a human and which is a computer. The interrogator is not the
subject being tested; instead, it is the computer that is trying to fool the
human (as opposed to the opposite direction under the imitation game).
For example, it may be asked a series of personal finance questions to
determine whether or not its responses are reasonably expected
regarding behavioral finance.

The fictitious Voight-Kampff in the science fiction dystopian series Blade


Runner is a play on the idea of testing a machine for its intelligence
behavior.

Variations of the Turing Test


Since the creation of the Turing test, more modern approaches have
evolved in an attempt to better detect humans and machines. These
variations of the Turing test are continually evolving to maintain relevance
during technological advancements.

 The Reverse Turing Test aims to have a human trick a computer


into having the computer believe it is not interrogating a human.
 The Total Turing Test incorporates perceptual abilities and the
person being question's ability to manipulate objects.
 The Marcus Test has test subjects view media and respond to
questions about the content consumed.
 The Lovelace Test 2.0 has test subjects create art and examines
their ability to do so.
 The Minimum Intelligent Signal test asks test subjects only binary
questions (i.e. only true/false or yes/no answers are allowed).
